The Baxter Derby Days Grand Opening party got off to a running start on Thursday, April 3 at Baxter Village. Area Realtors were invited to Baxter to enjoy a "day at the derby", which included lunch, entertainment and prizes. Each Realtor received $3,000 in "funny money" to bet on their favorite horses, which sported names such as "Run Tate Run", "Century 21 Tradition", "ReMax Attack", "ERA is A-OK" and more.

Realtors had the opportunity to earn additional betting money by visiting Baxter's four new model homes by builders David Weekley, Saussy Burbank, Miller Classic Homes and D.R. Horton. Realtors took bus tours through the neighborhood to view the new Urgent Care Center, YMCA site, elementary school, Town Center, Library, and over 380 homes. "The event gave Realtors a great opportunity to see all of the progress at Baxter. It was fun to see everyone having such a great time," says Kerri Robusto, Marketing Director for Baxter.

All winnings from the races were used in the drawing for the Grand Prize: a Las Vegas vacation. Nancy Kerstein of Richardson Realty Group walked away with the Grand Prize. "Baxter congratulates Nancy and would like to thank everyone who came out for this fun event," says Robusto.
