Bitter Sweet Bombshells Prepare for 2nd Home Bout!

Sweetwater County’s first and only roller derby team, the Bitter Sweet Bombshells, will be hosting their second home bout against Heart Mountain Wreck on Wheels, out of Cody, Wyoming. This is the third time the Bombshells will face the Cody team. Last season the Bombshells went 1-1 against the Cody team, which will make for an exciting rematch against Heart Mountain.

The Bout, Summer Shovin’, will take place on June 18th at 5 pm at the Rock Springs Family Recreation Center. If you’ve never seen the fast paced, excitement packed sport of roller derby, then this is your chance! We host our bouts in a family friendly environment with concessions and games. Half of the ticket proceeds will benefit the Food Bank.

About the Bitter Sweet Bombshells

The Bitter Sweet Bombshells are Sweetwater County’s first women’s flat track roller derby team. The team was founded in April of 2013 by Cara (Caraxe) Kelsey, and Miranda (MirDuh) Samsel. Caraxe and MirDuh are former members of the Naughty Pines Derby Dames roller derby team in Laramie.

The Bitter Sweet Bombshells 3rd season began on May 7, 2016, in Jackson, Wyoming. Their first home bout of the season, and first win of the season, occurred on June 4th against the Wreckin’ Roller Rebels, out of Denver, CO.

The Bitter Sweet Bombshells have spent three years becoming an active part of the Sweetwater County community, volunteering at a multitude of events. The Bombshells are always looking for additional ways to become involved in the community. If your organization is looking for volunteers to help with your event, contact the Bombshells!

As of June 2016, the Bombshells have contributed over $6500 (just from ticket sales!) to Sweetwater County organizations! Help us continue our mission in supporting local organizations by joining us at one of our two remaining home bouts this season!
