Scene + Heard: Reach for Resources ’80s Roller Disco

For the Minnesota Star Tribune
February 10, 2017 at 10:53PM

Big hair, bangles, fanny packs and the music of yesteryear were once again in style for guests of ’80s Roller Disco.

The benefit drew plenty of youngsters who didn’t remember Devo or the “Desperately Seeking Susan” fashions. But that didn’t make it any less fun to strap on skates (some for the first time).

The event, sponsored by Renewal by Andersen, raised funds for Minnetonka-based nonprofit Reach for Resources, which is dedicated to helping individuals overcome their disabilities and reach their full potential.
