Activity stations will be set up in Exhibit Hall.

Attendees of the 107th American Legion National Convention in Louisville, Ky., will have two opportunities to get crafty in the Exhibit Hall of the Kentucky International Convention Center, courtesy of the Kentucky Derby Museum.

On Friday, Aug. 28, from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m, they can create their own Derby hat at a Hatitude workshop. The cost is $30 per person. And on Saturday, Aug. 29, and Sunday, Aug. 30, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., attendees can make a lucky souvenir by decorating an authentic horseshoe or designing a mini custom racing silk. Lucky shoes are $12 per person and racing silks $6. Simply walk up, do the craft, pay and leave. Space is limited, so be prepared to come back another time if necessary.

The Exhibit Hall will be located in Hall B, Upper Concourse of the Kentucky International Convention Center.
