80's Dance/Skate Concert

Freakazoids...Robots...Please Report To The Dance Floor

Taking you back to the days of Bus Stop, Roller World, when the mirrored ball glistened off the zippers of your Thriller jacket, your jheri curl activator and your braces. Remember the girls decked out in Candies, stonewashed skirts buttoned up the side and a Heartbreaker jacket, with their finger waved hair held back in a banana clip? The boys hanging tough with their Troop gear as the thunderous sound of polyurethane wheels against the lacquered wood almost drowned out the sounds of Newcleus' Jam On It.

On November 28th at 8:00pm, the Montgomery Co. Fairgrounds Coliseum will return you to the days of Skateland. Along with skating, there will be a best dressed, best hair and old school dance contest. The highlight of the night will be a concert by Chubb Rock and Dana Dane with the host for the evening being none other than the real Roxanne, Roxanne Shante. Tickets are $20 in advance and are available at 14kt, Gold 4 Ya Mouth, Anointed Hands Hair Studio, and Smoke One Tobacco Shop. For more information, call (937) 608-1695. This is a grown folks event...30 and over only!
