Fayette Fest is a family-oriented event held each year at The Red Mile. There will be harness racing; live music; shopping; food trucks; a beer garden; kid activities; equine education; dog events; and a KY Proud Market. Fayette Fest is Sunday, September 15, 2019 from 12:00 noon until 6:00 p.m.
The Maker's Mark Secretariat Center will have a booth set up in the equine education section and we will have horseshoes for kids to paint and decorate. We need volunteers to help with:
- Booth set-up and tear-down
- Getting kids set up with horseshoes, paint and other materials
- Helping kids with decorating, if needed
- Telling kids about Thoroughbreds and letting them dress up in jockey silks for photo ops by their parents

About Maker's Mark Secretariat Center
Location:
Maker's Mark Secretariat Center, 4089 Iron Works Parkway, Lexington, KY 40511, US
Mission Statement
The Maker's Mark Secretariat Center was founded as a showcae and re-training facility for Thoroughbred ex-racehorses. We believe that abuse, abandonment and slaughter are not appropriate means of treatment for horses who have reached the end of their racing careers. We provide these horses with a chance for re-training for second careers. We also exist to raise awareness of the ex-racehorse's plight.
Description
Here at the MMSC, we take in horses from rescue agencies, private owners and trainers around the country for re-schooling and adoption. We are a 22-acre facility located within the Kentucky Horse Park, and are designed to house as many as 10-12 horses at a time. We seek the soundest, sanest horses from off the track in order to demonstrate the versatility of the Thoroughbred breed.
