One event was the "Ken-Ducky Derby," hosted by Harbor House Louisville on Saturday. Although people are gearing up for the most exciting two minutes in sports, Madison Jagger, the marketing manager for Harbor House, says the most exciting 30 minutes in sports was just outside Joe's Crab Shack for the Ken-Ducky Derby.

The Great Balloon Race also took place on Saturday at Bowman Field. After postponements earlier in the week, 20 hot air balloons finally took to the skies, bringing hundreds of spectators together.
