The spirit of Spain was alive in downtown Monroe on Saturday, June 9 as Flying Tiger Brewery hosted the annual Bulls in the Streets event, sponsored by Origin Bank. Runners donned their white shirts and red bandanas and raced through the streets with Roe City Rollers derby girls skating behind them, chasing them with whiffle-ball bats. Proceeds from the one mile fun run benefitted the Chennault Aviation and Military Museum and Monroe’s own Roe City Rollers roller derby team. The Roe City Rollers team was founded in 2011 and is a group of strong athletic women dedicated to the evolving sport of roller derby. The Chennault Aviation and Military Museum promotes and honors the story of the Flying Tigers and their amazing feats during WWII, which is the namesake of the local brewery.
