Another wonderful event that I helped with was Ascot, that took place on May 28 at Woodbine horse racing pavilion. Ascot is a high end (royal) event on which all the fancy ladies wear crazy hats called "fascinators" and rich men bet on race horses and lose thousands of dollars. It was also a charity event with a silent auction where they were selling all sorts of deals for $10 000, and the hats that me and my schoolmates made especially for this event. So we also did help to raise some money for the organization called Best Buddies Canada (http://www.bestbuddies.ca/SpecialEvents/TheThrilloftheAscot/tabid/88/Default.aspx).
I, as I consider myself one of the "fancy ladies", too wore a crazy hat and participated in betting procedure. I ended up winning $10 and losing a little bit more, but outbet Sinclair (the event organizer, who was in charge of our team) and having tons of fun cheering and yelling for those horses I bet on (I might event have scared a few of them, cause 2 of my horses actually came first ;)).
Here are all the documented pieces of this day.
