This year, in addition to the races, they held an Easter Egg Hunt and an Easter parade by the Nantucket Beagles both of which delighted the younger crowd. The day’s festivities included an antique car show for those who also enjoy a different kind of horse power.

A new offering for 2019 was the pick-up picnic baskets. The organization partnered with L’Auberge Provençale to make tailgate picnic baskets available. Instead of packing, people could pick up a ready made basket on race day at the Blue Ridge Hunt Tent.
