PRE-BOUT BBQ WITH THE ROLLERGIRLS!
Yes, it's April 15th, but this year it's NOT tax day. So no excuses! Get yourself and your friends down to Rice Park between 5-7pm to party with the RollerGirls and celebrate the amazing season that we're officially ending on April 15. Enjoy Pabst, hotdogs, and hamburgers hot off the grill for only $1 each from 5-7pm. All are welcome and encouraged to attend.

ANOTHER REASON TO BE AT THE BBQ... $100!
As if you needed another reason to come to the BBQ, now you have one. Station 4 will be handing out postcards at the BBQ that enter you into a $100 cash prize drawing at the after-party! That's right, if you're one of the lucky postcard holders who's in attendance at the after-party for the midnight drawing, you could win $100 in cash. The postcard is free, but you must have one and be in attendance for the midnight drawing at Station 4 to be eligible to win. They'll also be giving away some PBR schwag at the after-party, so even if you can't make the BBQ, you could still win some cool stuff.

THE ONION KISSING BOOTH
Would you pay to kiss a Twin Cities ONION employee? I mean, they're studly and all, but perhaps kissing a Minnesota RollerGirl is more enticing. The ONION will be setting up a kissing booth at the RollerGirls' BBQ in Rice Park. Not only can you mingle with the RollerGirls, but for $3 you can give a kiss to your favorite RollerGirl or ONION Employee! All collections will be going to the Cancer Kids Fund at Children's Hospital of Minnesota.

GET YOUR TICKETS IN ADVANCE!
Who wants to wait in line to get a ticket, especially when all you want to do is get inside fast and get your seat! To avoid the ticket/will call lines, we recommend stopping by one of our sponsor locations to check out their wares and to purchase your tickets. As of noon 4/12, here's how many tickets are left at each location. Tickets will be available at these locations until 6pm Friday.
