Cold From Pig Day? Warm Up with @LVRollergirls Action! Tonight! |

I can’t say I braved the cold this morning to get to National Pig Day despite DiPro’s wake up call and generous offer to drive. Alas, I was not feeling up to it. I heard it was cold and that brings me to Tonight! It’s inside, with heat and it’s BYOB alcohol allowed! (No glass or large coolers) Why no glass or large coolers you ask? I’ll tell you the same thing Bronco’s head coach John Fox told Peyton Manning when he took the field for the Superbowl… “Safety First!”

Come out and see the Lehigh Valley Rollergirl’s 2014 season opener out in Schnecksville!

From the Lehigh Valley RollerGirls:

Lehigh Valley Rollergirls to premiere all new home teams today in season opener

Allentown, PA- The Lehigh Valley Rollergirls will introduce fans to their new teams, the Metal Vixens and the Blast Furnace Betties, today, March 1st, when they open their 2014 season with a intraleague bout at the Independence Family Fun Center in Schnecksville.

This will be fans first chance to see the new teams in action and see what team their favorite roller girls are skating for.

According to LVRG president Stacey “Wayward Stay” Emencker, “With our home teams, the Vixens and Betties, sporting equally skilled groups of skaters, Saturdays bout is sure to be exciting. It’s going to be a great way to kick off our season and give our fans some must see derby action.”

The Vixens and the Betties will be LVRG’s home teams going forward, with the travel team, the Lehigh Valley Rollergirls All-Stars, made up of the best skaters from both home teams, carrying on the rank of the now retired Hissy Fits in the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA).

About LVRG- With the revival of women’s roller derby sweeping the nation, the Lehigh Valley Rollergirls were established in January 2006 with the hope of bringing the thrill and excitement of the game to the Valley. The Lehigh Valley Rollergirls are the area’s only women’s flat track roller derby league, and have rapidly grown from just a handful of women meeting at open skates to full WFTDA members with a travel team and two home teams. LVRG has received much attention from local media outlets, including PBS and Pulse Weekly, and even traveled to Montreal in June 2007 to play in one of the first international roller derby bouts since the revival of the sport. This 501(c)(7) non-profit, skater-owned and operated league is dedicated to promoting strong women and the spirit of sisterhood, both on and off the track. When not in the rink, the girls can often be found at various community events in the area. http://www.lehighvalleyrollergirls.com
