It's Derby week here in Louisville. That means every single party, performance, charitable event or random excuse to get together is centered around a horse-tastic theme.
Most people with an aversion to all things Derby have rented out their houses (oh yes, you can make a pretty penny even if you live far from Churchill Downs) and taken a vacation out of town this week. For those people who are still in town but want nothing to do with the track, here are a few alternatives.
