As we close out another Derby, this post sums it all up well, we think: "In the end, the Derby gives us what we all need most. Time with family, time away from family, amazing high points, embarrassing low points, an earned sense of community, friendship, secrecy, lifelong memories, and of course, the occasional marshmallow dinner."
