"Picture Decatur" (Decatur IL)

This week, we spotlight the PRAIRIELAND PUNISHERS, Decatur's very own roller derby team. Formed in August 2011, the Punishers are a not-for-profit organization and boast an all-star lineup of skaters from the Decatur, Springfield, and surrounding areas.   The team is comprised of women from all walks of life who have a love for skating, physical fitness, and a dedication to community service. Connect with the Punishers on their Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/prairielandpunishers

These folks do such a great job rescuing the unwanted pets of the Decatur and Macon County area, and doing their best to find them a great new home.
