Off The Rails

Posted on by tahoefence

Off The Rails This weekend will be something with both the Kentucky Derby on Saturday and Cinco de Mayo on Sunday. The Kentucky Derby, the longest held continuous sports event in America, is celebrating its 150th running. While Cinco de Mayo, which marks the Mexican army's victory over the French at the Battle of Pueblo, has been celebrated since 1862. And historically Americans like celebrating both. About 120,000 mint juleps are expected to be served at Churchill Downs over the weekend, which takes around 10,000 bottles of bourbon to make. And in 2014, it's estimated more than 335,000 gallons of tequila and mezcal were consumed by Americans on May 5th. Whichever event you'll be enjoying, be safe, and keep your celebration from going off the rails. Pictured: Horizontal redwood rail fences built by Tahoe's crews in Genoa (Douglas County.)
