GET THERE EARLY, GET A FREEBIE
We'll be giving the first 200 people in the doors a special limited edition Minnesota RollerGirls t-shirt. This shirt isn't available for purchase and when it's gone, it's gone. So get there early!

SPECIAL POSTERS WITH THE ROLLERGIRL TOUCH
The poster concept that the designers at Hunt Adkins came up with for us this time involved a little extra something: shiners applied to the big eye on the poster by all the rollergirls! So each poster is unique and has the autograph of the rollergirl who "shined" the poster for you.

HOME SEASON CHARITY: Family and Children's Service


Fancy pantsy limited edition t-shirt by John Vogt

We rollergirls like to support our local visual artists and over the years we've had several dozen local artists design our bout posters. Now we're taking that idea to wearables and are producing a super special, exclusive, fabulous, limited edition Minnesota RollerGirls & PBR t-shirt featuring the illustration of local illustrator/designer John Vogt.

Quantities are extremely limited and when they are gone, they are gone - get yours for $15 at the next bout!
