Eatonville Restaurant celebrates the Kentucky Derby for the next Food
& Folklore event on Tuesday, May 15, 2012 at 6:30 PM.
Special guest speaker/storyteller is local artist Tim Hinton.

forgotten in American History. The Legends: A Tribute to Historical
Black Jockeys© is a series of paintings that powerfully captures nine
of these racing greats. This stunning collection of life-like images
will help ensure that these jockeys are honored for generations to
come. Join Hinton for a fascinating discussion about the history of
the Kentucky Derby and the jockeys that solidified the race's place in
history.
The cost for Food & Folklore is $45 per person (plus tax and
gratuity). Reservations are required. Call 202-332-9672. Original
