If you are on the hunt for last minute Kentucky Oaks or Derby tickets, beware that scammers might try to fool you into purchasing fake tickets.
BBB offers the following tips:
Check out the business. If you are purchasing from a company, check their Business Review at bbb.org to read customer reviews or their complaint history. Also check to see if they are a member of the National Association of Ticket Brokers (natb.org).
Consider the source. Are you purchasing from a ticket broker (a legitimate and accredited reseller) or a ticket scalper (an unregulated and unlicensed ticket seller)? If you are purchasing from an auction site, check to see if the site offers any guarantees. Remember, you might get a great deal on Facebook Marketplace or other sites, but sales are not guaranteed.
Payment methods. Use a credit card whenever possible. Many credit cards offer buyer protection and allow you the opportunity to dispute a charge. If you are asked to wire money straight to the seller or pay by gift cards or prepaid debit cards, stay away. At this time, tickets can still be purchased directly from Churchill Downs, which is one of the safest and most guaranteed sources. If you believe you have purchased a counterfeit ticket, report it to the National Association of Ticket Brokers hotline at 630-510-4594.

After a two-year hiatus, the Louisville Free Public Library’s annual How-To Festival is back for its ninth year! Taking place on the second Saturday in May, How-To is an annual tradition for thousands of Louisvillians looking for something entertaining, interactive, and educational to do after Derby is over.
LFPL is excited to once again offer attendees the chance to learn how-to-do more than 50 different things in five hours, all for free. From learning how to be a circus performer to canning your own vegetables to making amazing cake sculptures, “how-to” sessions cover a range of skills taught by local experts.
The How-To Festival takes place on Saturday, May 14, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Main Library, 301 York Street. Sessions will be located in more than 15 areas throughout the building and surrounding grounds, transforming the entire library into a giant classroom. Food trucks will be onsite.
For more information, including the growing list of how-to sessions, visit LFPL.org/how-to.
