Have you’ve ever thought about participating in ROLLER DERBY?  Here’s your chance to test the waters!

• Skate Ranch in Lufkin is the place to meet.  
• Every Thursday night from 7:00-9:00pm local ladies are getting their roller derby workout.  No commitments needed, but roller derby might be the newest, hottest workout around!
• In all seriousness, this is a real practice, you will be required to wear a helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, wrist guards and a mouth guard. There are a few extras to share, except the mouth guards.
• You can rent skates at the rink for $3, if you like it you can purchase your own gear.
• All skill levels are welcome and encouraged, many of us haven’t skated since we were 7, but that’s okay!
• For more information please contact East Texas Bombers at lufkinrollerderby@gmail.com or on their facebook page.

Kids in Eastern Texas get to enjoy five full days off of school next week courtesy of Spring Break. Some families use this time to take a vacation, but then there are those trying to save money by enjoying a peaceful “staycation.” Unfortunately, those that take the staycation route tend to get a little stir crazy by Wednesday. You want to offer fun ways to entertain your kids and get them active, but the point of a staycation is to save money, and if you are spending $40 or more a day on entertainment venues, then your budget-friendly week is blown. What do you do? Roller skate!

Budget Friendly Things to do During Spring Break

We have distributed free passes with valid hours everyday of Spring Break, including the weekends, and your Kids Skate Free passes are valid, too. We also offer evening and night skate times with an admission price of only $4 on most nights. Tuesday evening from 6 to 9 p.m. is our Take It Back Tuesday night that features $1 admission and other $1 deals on concessions. Basically, if you are looking for budget friendly things to do in Lufkin or Nacogdoches, Skate Ranch and Skate-O-Rama have you covered everyday of the week.

Friday Night Late Skate

Then, on Friday, March 14th, we are hosting one big party for anyone who can stay up until midnight. The doors open at 7 p.m. for our Spring Break Late Skate, and the festivities continue until midnight. During these five hours of skate time, we will be having games, raffles, prizes, food and fun. Admission is $12, and it’s a great way to celebrate being off of school.

Just because you have decided to save some money by skipping a vacation does not mean that you have to spend every day at home. Come to Skate Ranch or Skate-O-Rama to let your kids be active and have fun. We are looking forward to seeing you!

Spring Break is quickly approaching in Eastern Texas. Local schools will be on break from March 8 through 16, and we know how parents can struggle to find affordable activities to keep their kids busy during these school breaks. Let us help you enjoy a budget-friendly staycation where you can let your kids burn off their energy on a daily basis. Both of our Texas roller skating rinks, Skate Ranch and Skate-O-Rama, will be open every day of Spring Break, and we will be heading to the schools on March 3 and 4 to distribute free passes. Make sure you ask your kids for these passes to ensure their safe keeping.
