public and private youth sports organizations.

The closing reception of and csl took place at Churchill Downs yesterday evening.

And the Derby Museum helped make more attendees.

Look the part during the attendants participants had the opportunity to create their own derby.

Hats at the had a tube station allowing them to take home a piece of local culture.

>> So over the past 2 days at the convention center's we made over 1650 Derby hats before the conference attendees.

This is big dacula.

>> And maybe it took 8 minutes.

Maybe and I am just the real and I've been out.

He's out there.

People wanted to just take a picture of the hat first, they're going to pick their base.

>> Which is either going to be a there.

We had like a sun hat, a fascinator base or at the door and then they're going to get their band their centerpiece, which could be a flower or a little bow.

There's all different colors and options where they pick their centerpiece and then they're going to pick out their feathers.

So once they've just picked up, although says for the Derby hat, they're going to come out and our staff and volunteers are going to assemble it for them.

>> And then they're going to be on their way with their very under.

We had that chose the color because I'm of that.

And some of the University of Kansas, OK?

And so part of that is our color.

So use the hour will be able to use this hat on different occasions.

It really was a fun thing to do at the conference when we spend so much time in meeting.

And in the plenary sessions that I chair one tomorrow.

So I'm really glad because I want them in able to come out again.

And and get is out.

It was just a lot of fun.

The attendees absolutely right that we had.

>> Then women there were a few kids them in are just as excited on their site about their heads.

>> They're coming to Louisville.

They know they're going to Churchill Downs and even if they don't know a ton about horse they know people were hads to the Kentucky Derby.

So it's a great way for the Derby museum to share some of the history and some of the tradition and that go along with the Kentucky Derby.

If you watch the Kentucky Derby, what do they showcase?

>> That hat that people are aware it right.

So now you you can go to the place they do have watched on TV.

With your.

Specially made hat for you.

I don't think any of us have had the experience I've been able to choose.

All the materials and the caller via hat and watch someone make it for you.

>> The last few years, the idea of having something that is an activation or make intake or sending folks home with a souvenir has really taken off.

And it's just a fun way to not just learn about something but to interact with something and then get and then go home and and show off what you created in Louisville, Kentucky, home of the Kentucky Derby.
