Previously reported:

The Zombie Crawl will changed from a Pub Crawl into more of a family event.  Co-Host of the event Johnny Jerome stated that the change came in order to allow more people to attend the event, making it more inclusive this year and not just a pub crawl.

The event will encourage participants to dress up as zombies and will raise money to be donated to the James River Humane Society.

He says, participants need not dress up if they prefer not to.

The event will begin at 5:00 PM at the REALTRUCK parking lot at 1307 12th Ave NE, Jamestown.

In place of a registration fee, donation jars for the James River Humane Society will be located around the RealTruck.com parking lot.

This year there will be a bouncy house and other inflatable games from Jamestown Inflatables. Food and refreshments will be available from Firehouse Ribs and Plantation Coffee Bar. James River Humane Society will have some of the animals the volunteers care for, on display. Participants are encouraged to bring their pets along, dressed as zombies or not, and at 5:30 p.m. there will be a walk to Polar King for a group photo.

In addition to the walk, there will be a raffle. Prizes include a 40-inch flat-screen television, two $100 gift certificates from Firehouse Ribs and a family pass to the Mall of America in Minnesota.

Raffle tickets are $4 each or three for $10 and may be purchased at Nicole’s Unique Bridal & Prom Boutique, 201 1st Ave. N., or during the day of the event.

Jerome adds there is also a costume contest with a grand prize of a one-night stay at Quality Inn & Suites, two tickets to Bison 6 Cinema and a $50 gift certificate to Grizzly’s Grill N’ Saloon.
