Tonight: Women's Boxing Friday at 5:30 pm. No experience necessary. Friendly and supportive atmosphere. Please join us! Pictured: Marian Lady Tyger Trimiar. An American professional boxer who competed between 1976 and 1985. She was a vocal supporter of making the sport more accessible to women. Trimiar fought in exhibition matches before it became legal for women to fight in sanctioned bouts. In 1978, after a long lawsuit, Trimiar, Jackie Tonawanda, and Cathy "Cat" Davis were the first women to be issued a boxing license in New York. In 1987, she started a month-long hunger strike to advocate for increased pay and better working conditions for professional female boxers.

We ran into Joe a lot at fights in Washington and Oregon. Lots of great conversations and competitive moments. If you have the ability to help out his family please do so, they are good people.

For those that missed it! Great info from our High Performance Team.

NEW TIME: Women's Boxing, tonight at 5:30 pm.

The Nelson and District Arts Council presents second round of artists for the 32nd annual ArtWalk and we're happy to be an Artwalk virtual venue. Our artist this month is Therese Mah, a painter and graphic designer in Nelson, British Columbia. Therese's work has been included in the Nelson Touchstones Museum 2020 Member Show, and 2018 Mish Mash Bash at Woods Studio in Vancouver. This painting celebrates the iconic Burrells Grocery in Nelson. @kootenayrockies @nelsonanddistrictartscouncil #artwalknelson2020 #nelsonanddistrictartscouncil
