Jennifer Lawrence returned to her home state of Kentucky this weekend!

The 27-year-old Academy Award winning actress stopped by the opening night of Derby Week at Churchill Downs on Saturday (April 28) to celebrate her partnership with Woodford Reserve & their $1,000 Mint Julep Program. Jennifer played bartender at the event, and was also seen mingling with Woodford Reserve’s Assistant Master Distiller, Elizabeth McCall.
