If you’re curious about what the heck roller derby is, here’s a unique opportunity to do so, and it’s free. From the Facebook event:
Join the Twin City Derby Girls as they take on a Midwest mash-up of skaters in a first-ever, outdoor, exhibition game at Douglass Park, Champaign. This game is free and open to the public and we invite you to find out what roller derby is all about.
The exhibition is this Saturday, September 22nd, beginning at 5 p.m. and will happen at Douglass Park. There is limited bleacher seating, so derby goers are encouraged to bring chairs and blankets. And hey, it’s dinner time, so why not bring some dinner along? May I recommend Wood N’ Hog, which is one short block away.
