IRVING PARK — Going a bit stir crazy, Chicago?

It doesn't take a medical degree to diagnose a severe case of city-wide cabin fever.

The folks of the Horner Park West Neighborhood Association have prescribed a unusual remedy: roller derby.

The group has organized a fan bus trip Saturday to catch the Chicago Red Hots in action against the Happy Camper Rollergirls of Ft. Wayne.

Cost is $22, which covers the bus ride, ticket to the derby and one drink. Kids 17 and under are free, both for the bus and the derby.

Tickets can be bought online here. At checkout use the code HPWNAOUTING for the $22 combo ticket price.

The bus will depart from Brisku's Bistro, 4100 N. Kedzie Ave., at 4:30 p.m. for the 5:30 p.m. derby at Cicero Stadium. After the competition, which lasts approximately two hours, the bus will bring people back to Brisku's.
