Sat. (April 25, 2026) 2-5PM Get ready for an afternoon of fun for a great cause at "Rutherford Races 2 Read" at Oaklands Mansion (900 N. Maney Ave., Murfreesboro). Hosted by the Rutherford County Library System Foundation, this lively, derby-style fundraiser features inflatable horse races, fabulous derby outfit contests, great energy, and an all-around good time.

Ticket purchases directly support grants for local librarians, helping fund programs, events, and materials that fall outside standard library budgets. When you attend, you’re not just racing and cheering, you’re investing in literacy, creativity, and community learning right here at home.

Grab your ticket, wear your best derby flair, and join us for an unforgettable afternoon in support of our local library!
