Classic City Rollergirls Bout


Come out to cheer on our hometown Rollergirls as they take on Huntsville, AL’s Dixie Derby Girls in this raucous roller skating rivalry. There will be plenty of jamming, whipping and blocking, as well as the inevitable thrills, spills and intrepid skills from your favorite skaters, including Elizabeth Impaler, Faye Tality, Mosh-ya Brady and AmyTville. A percentage of the night’s proceeds will benefit BreastFest, a local organization whose mission is to increase awareness and raise funds for breast cancer research, services, education, treatment and patient care for local breast cancer patients and survivors. There will also be a silent auction of one-of-a-kind Rollergirl-decorated bras to add to the kitty. Go to http://classiccityrollergirls.com for tickets [$10 (adv.), $12 (door)]. Doors open at 6 p.m.; bout begins at 7 p.m.
