Highway Clean-Up 7/31

So I realize I am writing about our activities way after it has happened.  However, I feel that is a commendable activity and still worth reporting on to let people know what we do for our community!  I’ am sure everyone can appreciate community service : )

9 am Saturday morning, July 31st found a 9-person crew of Ohio Roller Girls skaters and staff gathered outside of the residence of skater Paige Bleed who was gone, representing OHRG in all day county-fair scrimmage-craziness.   The fact that it was waaay too early in the morning (okay yes, I am being dramatic, but I HATE mornings!) actually was beneficial because the temperature had yet to climb.  The day was sunny and it was actually quite lovely.  Joining the crew this year were a handful of rookies (who we are VERY excited to welcome to the team)!  Highway clean-up always represents a great time to bond over gross-trash finds and to beautify our community.

OHRG at the Memorial Day Parade!

The Ohio Roller Girls were proud participants in the 2010 Worthington Memorial Day parade. Over a dozen Roller Girls, referees and volunteers marched and skated in the parade. Even the rainy morning wouldn’t keep us off of skates!


What was that kick-ass music on CD101?!

Did you hear the OHRG commercial on CD101?  The background music was Cotton Jackson playing ‘Roller Derby Girl’, you can find out more about him and his band at http://www.cottonjackson.com/
