What’s better than watching a Ventura roller derby team take on a Visalia roller derby team? TWO amazing bouts for the price of one. Ventura's County Derby Darlins' VenDolls and Battalion of Skates will take on the VTown Derby Dames A and B teams from Visalia. Come see the Dames and Darlins duke it out to establish whether Visalia or Ventura is the real "V" town.

You are cordially invited to witness the transformation as mothers, workers, teachers, and everyday women of Ventura County metamorph into hard-hitting, mouth-guard touting, quad-skate speed demons in the epic winner-takes-all fight known as roller derby competition.

Doors for this event open at 4:00pm and the first bout begins at 5:00pm with the second bout starting at 6:30pm. Ventura County Fairgrounds is located at 10 West Harbor Boulevard in Ventura, California, and the event will be held in the Santa Cruz Hall. Seating will be provided and food and beverages will be available for purchase. Please, no outside food or beverages and no pets allowed. All ages are welcome, and children 10 and under enter for free. Tickets $9 presale and $12 at the door.
