It is official, the region has it's own holiday! It is the 219 Day held by the city of Hammond. Mayor Thomas M McDermott, JR MC'd the evening 21 and over event. Thank you Mayor, and the City of Hammond for use of the Hammond Civic Center.
I would like to give a great thanks to the South Roller Girls (SSRG) for showing great spirit not only for what they do for free (roller derby), thank you for your great community support and giving to charity. You can find out more about SSRG by clicking here. You can catch their games this year in Hobart, at The Diggz. Their first home game is on St. Patrick's Day, March 17th.
Thank you SSRG for coming to 219 Day too pumping up the jam as it were (pun intended if you are a roller derby fan). Your energy was felt by your's truly throughout the evening.
Sometimes you just need the purity of B&W to show the real story in the photograph. I view B&W as giving you less noise for your brain to process. Do not be fooled. Black & Whiting photographs can also be noisy. Funny thing about that, a little bit of color softens the B&W noise, giving is “color” to uplift the story. So with that, take a look at the bundle of photographs taken starting after the doors opened and the crowd rolling in.
Gladiator joust anyone?
Check your strength at the punching arcade!
