"We're proud to announce our continued partnership with the Kentucky Derby this year, once again bringing together two 'rites of spring," said VOC Chairman Cliff Riner. "It's an exciting time of year for us as we ship Vidalia onions to grocery store shelves for all to enjoy in their spring and summer recipes."

"As we get ready for the 2022 Kentucky Derby, we're thrilled to have the Vidalia Onion Committee as a returning sponsor," said Mike Anderson, President of Churchill Downs Racetrack. "We're looking forward to enjoying the official menu dishes including this unique sweet onion, while we eagerly watch the races."
