Hard Knox Roller Girls have reached the halfway point in their 2016 season. Round three of their 10 year anniversary season will see HKRG lace up against the Central Ohio Roller Derby of Mount Vernon, Ohio. This will be the first time these teams have taken the track together. Who will be victorious? Find out July 16th at Maryville College’s Cooper Athletic Center. First, prepare to make some noise as your HKRG Brawlers take on The CORD B Squad at 5pm. Then at 7pm, watch your veteran skaters do what they do best as the HKRG Allstars match up against the Central Ohio All Stars.
The excitement does not stop when the skaters leave the track! Join HKRG in celebrating with one of their favorite charities, the Sunshine Ambassadors. These kids will bring the party to half time during this much-anticipated show. Come prepared to dance, twist, and shout along with these awesome performers!
