It is hard to recall any locally organized, all volunteer sporting team that has achieved a coveted Top 40 ranking in a world while also carving out time to contribute to the various charities of our region, but that is the power of the our very own Grand Raggidy Roller Derby!
Speaking of carving out time, this Halloween our local team will skate a double header match against the all-mighty Team Michigan and the Lansing Derby Vixens.
First up at 5:30 p.m. is our Grand Raggidy Attack! team who will take on Lansing Derby Vixen’s Capital Corruption.
Both of these teams are pretty evenly matched with a those crunching the stats predicting a near 59 percent chance for the Vixens to crush our Grand Rapids Attack! But maybe with the right energy coming from the fans, we can turn these numbers around.
Immediately after, the Grand Raggidy’s All Stars will take on Team Michigan—a team that our local girls have not yet been able to beat. But this won’t deter our team’s energy who have been training hard to turn this around. This weekend could be the joyous moment we have been working towards, so why sit at home on Saturday when history is about to be made.
Both games will be a nail biter for the fans, making victory something truly sweet this Halloween.
Attendees in costume can enter to win a special contest where the winner will receive two free tickets to the derby’s next home game.
The venue is once again selling beer and wine, with proceeds benefiting the Grand Raggidy Roller Derby’s boosters. Hungry? Soon to be downtown
