3RD ANNUAL

The 3rd Annual Shelby Humane Derby Party will be held at Siluria Brewing Company in Alabaster on Saturday, September 5th from 3-6 p.m. Tickets include beverage tokens, hors d’oeuvres catered by Taziki’s and K & J’s Elegant Pastries, live music by the 3 More Miles Band and the opportunity to win great prizes! Don’t forget your biggest hat and most dapper suit!

All proceeds from the Derby Party will support the important work of Shelby Humane. This nonprofit organization serves the Shelby County community through animal education, rescue and adoption, animal overpopulation awareness and solutions, veterinary bill assistance, disaster response and even through programs providing pet care for victims of domestic violence.

TICKET PACKAGES: $25 – General admission: 1 ticket and 1 beverage token $60 – VIP: 2 tickets, 2 beverage tokens, and 2 entries for the race drawing $290 – Group: 8 tickets, 16 beverage tokens, and 8 entries for the race drawing Monetary donations will be accepted at the event. Simply text “SHELBY” to 41444 and use “Derby Donation” as the note.

This year the party is hosted by The Dixie Flyers, a Birmingham based flyball club. Flyball is a dog sport in which two teams of four dogs race relay-style in parallel lines. The relay includes four hurdles, retrieving a ball from a spring-loaded box and returning to their handler. The Dixie Flyers Club gathers weekly for practice sessions and hosts five local tournaments a year.

In an effort to further support Shelby Humane, the Dixie Flyers have arranged a gift basket drawing of baskets valuing anywhere from $200 to $570! Featured themes are Alabama & Auburn Football, Kentucky Derby, Automotive, Doggy, Kitchen and Wine & Cheese. Keep an eye out for the Derby Party Event Page on Facebook to learn how to enter the basket drawings! You’ll want to get your entries in quickly before slots fill up!
