The double header will feature the Lil' Nemisisters Junior Derby team taking on the Atomic City Fall. A little mountain rivalry heats up as Smoky Mountain Roller Girls challenge Asheville's Blue Ridge Roller Girls French Broads B-team. 

First bout starts at 4:30 p.m. with your hometown team Smoky Mountain Roller Girls taking the track at 6 p.m. Big Daddy Voodoo will take the mic as the announcer for the evenings events. Half-time entertainment will be provided by the cast of Smoky Mountain Community Theater’s “Rocky Horror Picture Show.”

Proceeds from the bout will benefit Swain County’s Relay for Life. The Smoky Mountain Roller Girls have a tradition of donating proceeds from their ticket sales to local charities since their debut sold out bout in 2012. 

SMRG has also donated funds to other organizations such as Qualla Safe House and Big Brothers and Big Sister of Swain County, Hawthorne Heights, and Life Challenge in the past. The Smoky Mountain Roller Girls used the Bryson City Christmas Parade as an opportunity to collect canned food items to donate to Community Table’s food bank.

Women ages 18 and up are encouraged to come out for practice on Sunday and Wednesday evenings from 6 to 8 p.m. Men and women are invited to join the team as non-skating officials, referees and volunteers.
