The Queen’s Daughters, a Catholic women’s organization, will kick off the Derby season with its 73rd annual fashion show and luncheon, “Spring into Fashion,” on April 15 at the Triple Crown Pavilion, 1780 Plantside Drive in Jeffersontown. Doors will open at 10:30 a.m., and the lunch and show will begin at noon.
