The event is a benefit for the Mission Project, which enables capable adults with developmental or cognitive disabilities to live independently and safely in the community with minimal support. The festivities will include a silent auction, “betting” on favorite horses by buying raffle tickets in the horses’ name, refreshments (including the Mission Julep!) and prizes for best-dressed individual, best-dressed couple and best hat.
