Paradise Roller Girls will host a full afternoon and evening of roller derby Saturday at the Afook-Chinen Civic Auditorium, featuring a round-robin of bouts with Pacific Roller Girls and Waimea Wranglers Rough Rollers.

The first bout between Waimea and Pacific is scheduled for 2 p.m., followed by Pacific against Paradise at 4:30 and ending with Paradise playing Waimea at 7.

“This bout is our first home game of the season and we are pumped to have people come cheer us on,” said Paradise Roller Girls skater Kelli “Kellfire” Bolger. “We’ve been working really hard in preparation.”

Between each sanctioned bout will be a junior derby game where PRG’s junior skaters will skate against each other during 10-minute mini bouts.

Vendor, sponsor and merchandise booths will be on-site. Hilo Town Tavern will host an after party with no cover fee if a ticket stub is presented upon entry.

Admission is $5 for adults and free for children 4 and younger. Tickets can be purchased at Jungle Love, CD Wizard, Mt View Village Video, Kadota Liquor, Lucy’s Taqueria, at the door or from any of the PRG skaters.
