Looking for something to do tonight? The Renegade Rollergirls have a family-friendly carnival/skate party going on at the Indoor Sports Center. Technically, they’re calling it "A Bad Ass Carnival" (see the poster image below), but I have it on good authority (from Shannon herself) that it’ll be good for kids. … Continue reading
