Pre-Derby Party at Ruth's Chris — Sophisticated St. Louis

Party-goers saddled up to the bar at Ruth's Chris' in Clayton as it opened their patio for the season by hosting a Kentucky Derby Kickoff Party. The event benefited TREEHouse of Greater St. Louis (formerly known as Therapeutic Horsemanship). TREEHouse's mission is to improve the lives of individuals with disabilities and their families through therapy, recreation, education and exploration. The Ralph Butler Band sounded the trumpet and it was off to the races with a live performance. Also on-hand for photo opportunities was a life-sized replica of one of Tree House’s horses. Guests enjoyed sumptuous appetizers and signature bourbon slush to toast the run for the roses to benefit TREEHouse of Greater St. Louis.
