The Big Easy Rollergirls at Voodoo Fest!

Who do the Voodoo? We do!

The Big Easy Rollergirls will be at the entrance of The Voodoo Experience every day of the festival from 10 to 11am, 1 to 2pm, and 4-5pm. We will be skating in front of the New Orleans Art Museum on 1 Collin Diboll Circle. We will have flyers and tickets to sell. You can also catch us skating around the festival - be careful of our hip checks!

Our charity was HandsOn New Orleans. HandsOn has evolved from a disaster response project into a thriving resource center for grassroots service project by launching an array of new programs; including a Tool Lending Library, a Youth Engagement Corps, and no-cost Volunteer Leader Trainings. We held a 50/50 raffle to benefit this local organization.

The bout action started immediately with Wit Vicious dominating as jammer. She scored 45 points in the first period, almost half of BERG points - and in only 3 jams! Wit had the most points scored in a jam with 20!
