The first race, the Belmont Stakes will take place at the Fourth Street Depot. The second race, the Preakness will take place at Amigos. The final race, The Spilltucky Derby will be held at Antlers in Clare. Make sure to bring a little extra cash, as there will be plenty of wagering on the grand finale in Clare! Yes, we realize they are in reverse order, we like being different! We will draw for participants the morning of the Bus Ride and give you more details as well.

The time has come to reserve your seat on an Irish Party Bus. Remember, this is the largest mobile St. Patrick’s Day Party in
Pocahontas County, the State of Iowa, and possibly the Midwest. The cost for this year’s “SPILLDERBY” Bus Ride will be
$20.00 per person - non-refundable.

We have limited seating available on the three Party Buses (35 - 40 seats on each Bus). If we have
40 or more on a bus we will need your cooperation with the seating/standing arrangement.

We ask that you send your bus registration and money to Jerry Bollard, 304 4th Ave. N.W., Pocahontas, Iowa 50574, or stop at Ikes
Bar and register. We ask that you have your seat(s) paid for by March 4th so we may plan accordingly.
The COST AFTER March 4th will be $30.00

Beverages will be allowed on the bus and we do ask that all take-on alcohol be purchased at Ikes Bar.
