KY. NEWS. BACK TO YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANKS, MEGAN. AND DERBY WEEK TRADITIONS INCLUDE THE ANNUAL BED RACES AND TRIPS TO THE KENTUCKY DERBY MUSEUM. OUR ADDIE MEINERS JOINS US NOW LIVE FROM BROADBENT ARENA, WHERE A UNIQUE RACE IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. HI, ADDIE. HI, RICK. YEAH, UNIQUE IS DEFINITELY THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE THIS EVENT. I맥스카지노�M AT THE 36TH ANNUAL BED RACES HERE AT BROAD BEND ARENA, AND THAT맥스카지노�S ESSENTIALLY WHERE PEOPLE TAKE A MATTRESS, PUT SOME WHEELS ON IT, AND RACE IT AROUND A TRACK. BUT ANOTHER DERBY TRADITION THAT HAPPENS THE MONDAY OF DERBY WEEK EVERY YEAR IS THE DERBY FEST OR THE DERBY MUSEUM맥스카지노�S ANNIVERSARY. THEY TURN 40. TODAY. 40 YEARS OLD TODAY. FOUNDED IN 1985. AND MY, HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED. WHILE PAT ARMSTRONG, THE PRESIDENT AND CEO OF THE KENTUCKY DERBY MUSEUM, SAYS HE WAS REFERRING TO HOW MUCH HAS CHANGED IN THE MUSEUM OVER THE PAST 40 YEARS, HE ALSO SAYS ACTUALLY, A LOT HAS CHANGED AT THE MUSEUM. IN THE PAST YEAR ALONE, WE HAVE ENTERTAINED OVER 7 MILLION GUESTS IN THE 40 YEARS EXISTENCE OF THE MUSEUM. AND PART OF OUR GOAL IS TO KEEP EVERYTHING FRESH. WHAT맥스카지노�S FRESH THIS YEAR? A ONE OF A KIND INTERACTIVE RACING EXHIBIT CALLED RIDERS UP THAT DEBUTED LAST APRIL. BUT THE BIGGEST CHANGE THIS YEAR IS THE $2 MILLION UPDATE TO THE MUSEUM맥스카지노�S FEATURE EXHIBIT, THE GREATEST RACE MOVIE. ARMSTRONG SAYS THEY RESHOT IT AND ADDED IMMERSIVE LIGHTING IN THE 360 DEGREE THEATER THAT IT PLAYS IN. SOME OF THE LIGHTS ARE ACTIVELY INVOLVED WITH THE MUSIC AND THE DIFFERENT POINTS OF THE STORY. YOU KNOW, KIND OF MOOD LIGHTING AT TIMES WHEN YOU맥스카지노�RE IN THE ROOM WITH THE MOVIE AND YOU CAN HEAR THE HORSES WHEN YOU맥스카지노�RE IN THE STANDS, YOU REALLY CAN맥스카지노�T HEAR THAT. BUT NOW WHEN YOU맥스카지노�RE AT THAT MOVIE, YOU CAN SIT DOWN AND JUST LOOK UP AND SEE THE RACE ITSELF. IT맥스카지노�S PRETTY EXCITING. BONNIE JOE MALINOWSKI IS A CLEVELAND NATIVE, BUT HAS BEEN TO THE DERBY SEVERAL TIMES. SHE SAYS HER FAVORITE PART IS THE FASHION. THE HATS ARE AMAZING. YOU GET TO SEE THOSE WHEN YOU GO TO THE DERBY, BUT IN THE MUSEUM YOU SEE MORE UNIQUE ONES THAT HAVE BEEN HERE FOR VERY MANY YEARS. WHILE SHE SAYS ATTENDING DERBY SHOULD BE ON EVERYONE맥스카지노�S BUCKET LIST, GOING TO THE DERBY MUSEUM SHOULD BE TO. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WERE LOOKING AT WAS HOW THE VETERINARIANS AND HOW THEY HAVE TO WALK THE HORSES EVERY DAY, SO IT맥스카지노�S AN EXPERIENCE THAT YOU JUST DON맥스카지노�T KNOW AS YOU GO TO THE DERBY, YOU DON맥스카지노�T UNDERSTAND, LIKE WHAT맥스카지노�S GOING ON BEHIND THE SCENES TO GET TO THAT DAY. YEAH. NOW, WHILE TODAY IS THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE KENTUCKY DERBY MUSEUM, PATRICK ARMSTRONG SAYS MORE EXHIBITS WILL BE OPENING THROUGHOUT THIS YEAR. NOW, AS FOR THE BED RACES HERE AT BROAD BEND ARENA, THEY WILL KICK OFF AT 7:00 TONIGHT AND I맥스카지노�LL HAVE MORE O
