CENTRAL ARKANSAS ROLLER DERBY

Roller Derby: Dames for Danes at SkateWorld on Sept. 14

(Little Rock) On Saturday, Sept. 14, Little Rock's most established roller derby league will begin Season 7 with a bout against the Derby Dames of Wichita Falls.

Central Arkansas Roller Derby has been in existence since 2006, but this year the league has compiled a new team of tough we're calling them Queens who will take the flat track in this fast-paced, electric game on wheels.

This bout is called "Dames for Dames" because a portion of the proceeds from the door and the art auction will go to the Pulaski County Humane Society.

"I don't really know what's happening, but it's very exciting!" we've heard new roller derby converts exclaim from their seats in the audience. And we'd have to agree the sport is incredibly exciting. If you'd like a quick and easy demonstration of roller derby or an explanatory interview with few of these passionate, well-spoken skaters, email prcontact@cearderby.com.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m.; bout begins at 7 p.m. Come early and choose a seat on the floor for an up close view of the action. Roller derby is a family friendly sport. Admission is $10. Children 10 and under get in free. Drinks and concessions will be available for purchase at the snack bar during this event.

Skate World is located at 6512 Mabelvale Cut Off in Little Rock. For more information about Central Arkansas Roller Derby or this event, go to www.cearderby.com.
