It is with great sadness that our "official" last derby has to be cancelled. If you already registered on Fishdonkey I will be refunding your entry fee today. We don't want to go out without doing something, so we are going to have an unsanctioned derby on the LVVA beachfront. We will be doing a bucket raffle, 50/50 raffle, selling our remaining hoodies and raffling off all the hourly raffle items ranging in value from $100-$300. This will go down from 8am-Noon on Saturday, February 21st. Hope to see you all there.
