I love this fun weekend and all good things colliding at once. Cinco De Mayo, the Kentucky Derby and the Wells Fargo Championship (a big golf tournement for Charlotteans).  If I were planning a party, here are my favorite ideas via trusty old Pinterest!

A mint julep is the signature cocktail of course!

Mint Julep cupcakes would be great late night…
