Dirty Dogs for Derby!

On May 26th, The Big Easy Rollergirls went to the Farmer's Market to wash dirty dogs for derby! These devoted, derby animal lovers spent the morning washing canines and collecting donations for the Humane Society.





















Thank you to everyone who came out to support The Big Easy Rollergirls and The Humane Society!

Special thanks to The Farmer's Market for letting us set up. We had a great time!

And thanks to Scott Stuntz of Muttshotz Photography for your wonderful photographs - as always!
