Despite a gloomy forecast, rain, clouds, and a surprise downpour of hail, the 11th annual Derby Daze welcomed about 1,000 brave and smiling people on Magnolia St. this year!

Thanks to Community Enterprise, Salud Family Health Centers, Community Health Services, and a team of cheerful volunteers, the event ran successfully throughout the day.

Participating organizations completed 39 medical screenings, 36 dental screenings, 25+ nutrition demonstrations, over 80 dog vaccinations, and 100 bike giveaways! Commerce City One Community provided hours of live music and performances for all who attended. We look forward to an even brighter festival in 2011!

This year's Derby Daze event saw an estimated 7,500 citizens take part in the annual June get together. Partnering with Community Enterprise to organize the event, Salud Family Health Center and Community Health Services completed the following:

Participating organizations also helped make the following possible: 

Musical acts included traditional dancing, mariachi and other popular bands while the "Alternative Ways to Stay Healthy" tent offered dancing and demonstrations. The dunk tank proved to be as popular as ever with kids getting a chance to drop public figures such as Gene Leffel, Jason McEldowney, Robert Vashaw, David Pocs, Jim Benson, David Lutter and Steve Douglas into the tank!

With the generous sponsorship provided by Commerce City One Community (CCOC) the Derby Daze 2009 hours were extended until 8:00 with a variety of musical acts and performances. With the sunny weather holding up until around 6:00 p.m. the extended hours were a success! 

CCOC played an important part in this years Derby Daze event. As a community partnership, CCOC works to create one community by integrating immigrants and those new to Commerce City. Over the next 3 years, Anna Ahamada, CCOC coordinator, will be working with Commerce City citizens to provide community mediation, events, and informational resources and referrals.  We welcome Anna to the community and thank CCOC for helping to expand Derby Daze in 2009.  To contact Anna visit the Derby Resource Center located at 7270 Monaco Street.
