Derby Hats, Juleps, and Good Times Ahead — Spring Fling Set for May 3
It’s time to dust off your best derby hat and bring your appetite — the 2025 GMSC Spring Fling is right around the corner! Join us on Saturday, May 3 at 6 PM at the GMSC Clubhouse for an evening of Southern-inspired fun at the Grande Maumelle Sailing Club.
Whether you’re a longtime member or a first-time guest, this is one of our favorite ways to celebrate spring, reconnect with fellow sailors, and welcome new faces to the dockside community. This year's twist? A "Best in Show" contest for appetizers and desserts — so bring your signature dish and a healthy dose of friendly competition.
Of course, no Spring Fling would be complete without the club’s unofficial cocktail of the evening: a refreshing mint julep, served up with plenty of charm. Come for the drinks and stay for the conversation, the laughter, and maybe even a few dance moves if the night takes us there.
This event is open to club members and their guests. Got questions or want to lend a hand with setup or judging the food entries? Reach out to our wonderful hosts, Drew and Heidi Daugherty, who are already cooking up a few surprises of their own.
So polish those shoes, prep that recipe, and get ready to tip your hat to spring — we’ll see you at the clubhouse!
