Derby gets a holiday

According to a press release and this post, Madison, Wisconsin mayor Dave Cieslewicz has decided to make August 25 "Mad Rollin' Dolls Day" to celebrate and recognize the many hours and dollars the league donates to charity. The official proclamation will take place on Friday, Aug. 25 when the Mad Rollin' Dolls all-scar Dairyland Dolls take on the Minnesota Rollergirls. "So, we wondered, what would be a good way to share what an asset they are with Madisonians who may not see the Dolls as anything more than hurt in a skirt? Of course, a mayoral proclamation (we figured asking for a stadium might be pushing it)!"
