MAGGIE MAE DESIGNS® Press Release
Hats Off to the Horses: The Road to the Derby is well underway, the annual online Derby hat auction created by MAGGIE MAE DESIGNS® to support the retired racehorses of Old Friends. This unique hat auction features a new Derby hat design each month that I have created to honor one of the Thoroughbreds at Old Friends. All of the proceeds from this running auction benefit Old Friends Equine and you can read all about it at http://www.maggiemae.com/OldFriendsAuction.htm 

We continue our theme of "Rosie and Friends" with the second hat up on the auction block which is the "Clever Allemont" Chapeau created to honor 1984 Rebel Stakes winner, Clever Allemont. Jockey Julien Leparoux and his wife, Shea Leparoux, recently participated in the hat photo shoot with Shea modeling this handcrafted, one-of-a-kind Derby hat honoring the life of Old Friends' retiree Clever Allemont.

To date, this unique fundraiser has earned over $21,000 for Old Friends. This “Clever Allemont” chapeau is up for bid as a special holiday addition to the fundraiser and is auctioning November 17th through the 27th.
