In June 2006, Asheville joined ranks with many other towns in being home to an applicant, or member, of the official Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) league. A revival of the 1935 American- born sport began in 2001, and this time it started as an all-female sport.
The Blue Ridge Rollergirls will open the 2010 season on Saturday, March 13 at 7pm at Asheville Civic Center. This season home opening bout is dubbed "Lucky Harm," where the girls will bout against (is that how you say it?) the Rollergirls of Central Kentucky (ROCK). The halftime show is by Unifire Theatre, the local firedancing troupe. Sounds like a pretty rockin' show to me! I admit that I've actually never been, but have wanted to go for quite a while. Maybe this is the season...
What a great way to get to know the town of Asheville when you visit these mountains as your vacation getaway! There are still some great winter specials happening throughout the month of March at Carolina Mornings. The season has yet to start, so visiting is still rather mellow. And then there's the free ski lift ticket that comes with each night of stay...
