May is best known for Mother\u2019s Day and Memorial Day, two special events. There are several other special events offered in May around our great states and some offer family-friendly fun to wacky weird events. On your next timeshare rental<\/a> check out one of these May events:<\/p>\n

1. Kentucky Derby (May 3):<\/b> Since 1875 the Kentucky Derby has raced three-year-old Thoroughbreds at their famous track in Louisville. The race is one and a quarter mile long at the well-known Churchill Downs track (pictured) where jockey\u2019s run their horses through a fast two-minute race in hopes of wearing roses. Don your best threads, top it off with a derby hat, and place your best bets.
