light-hearted event, but a plainly dressed rider for Rick’s White Light Diner took home the inaugural trophy, a small bike wheel decorated with artificial flowers. Harrod, who didn’t race, spo rted an old bike helmet decked out in colorful artifi- cial flowers. Decorating his Derby-inspired headgear was “a good afternoon proj- ect,” he said. Gov. Steve Beshear and first lady Jane Beshear were on hand for some of the youth races early in the morning. They boarded the private, CSX Governor’s Derby Train that pulled 17 cars to the Ken- tucky Derby before 10 a.m. Frankfort band Stirfry Musette, a gypsy jazz band, entertained the governor’s guests en route Louisville. While access was restricted Saturday, The State Journal spoke with the band, Jeff El- lis on guitar, Joanna Hay on violin and Ben Griffith on upright bass and accordion, as they prepped for their sec- ond 50-plus-mile trip since the train last ran in 2008. Taking off through down- town Frankfort is a memora- ble experience, some on the band said. “It’s a great moment when it backs out,” Ellis said Friday. “It’s a nice easy roll.” “It was so fun as we went through Frankfort and saw all our friends waving to us out the windows,” Hay said. Griffith says their mis- sion is to make people smile. What makes him smile is all the festive dresses and hats that mingle from car to car. “I love the dresses,” he said. Saturday’s event marked the second year in a row it has been held downtown. While some said they pre- ferred holding Derby break - fast on the Capitol grounds, others liked the atmosphere downtown, and said busi- nesses were better prepared this year. “I don’t know if they just didn’t have enough food or weren’t expecting as many people, but last year the lines for food were really, really long, and it seems like all of the downtown businesses have been better prepared in that regard,” said Kris Shera, whose 2-year-old son Lu- cas raced in one of the early- morning youth races. The event also gave peo- ple a chance to catch up and mingle. Bands like Sacre Bleu, the Downtown Coun- try Band and the Metafours cranked out tunes from the Jim Beam stage on the Old Capitol lawn. “I think it’s nice,” said Joe Ann Wolcott. “What I like about it is so many people getting together, and the THE STATE JOURNAL ■ FRANKFORT, KENTUCKY ■ MAY 6, 2012 ■ PAGE A7 DERBY | Pedal for the Posies, kids races buoyed downtown crowd CONTINUED FROM PAGE A1 things for the children are good.” And with storms in the early morning and overcast skies throughout the morn- ing, some expected a sparse crowd and worse weather. “I was afraid there wasn’t going to be anyone down here after hearing all the thunder and rain last night, but it’s a nice crowd,” said Heather Van De Sande, who moved here from Phoenix, Ariz. last year with her hus- band, Stef Van De Sande.
