Spring cleaning is here! The Black-n-Bluegrass Roller Girls will be cleaning up the highway they adopted last year through the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s Adopt a Highway program! BBRG’s three mile stretch is located at the intersection of Dixie Highway/US 25, and runs all the way to Turway and Donaldson by Mary Queen of Heaven. You can see our signs up on the corner of Turfway and Dixie Hwy as well as Turfway and Donaldson Hwy.

BBRG had an absolutely great time last year, all while removing 16 giant plastic bags in just a 4 hour period of time. It is a rewarding experience and the team is looking forward to doing it again!

If you are in the area and take a picture of the girls, submit it to the BBRG Facebook page!

Check back form upcoming photos, and feel free to come out and support the ladies from 1:30-5pm on March 23rd!
