FORT WALTON BEACH — Sharing and Caring seeks volunteers and food donations for the Zombie Walk coming up Oct. 18 in Fort Walton Beach. Individuals and groups are welcome, and earn volunteer community service hours.
ZOMBIE WALKING
Registration is 4-6 p.m. at Fort Walton Beach Landing, and costs four canned goods per person. Donations are sent to the Sharing and Caring food pantry. Sign in by 5:30 to qualify for prizes, and pick up a map for the event.
Makeup artists will zombify attendees for a small donation. Games (brain eating contest included), prizes and music for all ages are part of the fun. Dogs are welcome.
The walk concludes with a meandering of zombies through downtown Fort Walton Beach to their final destination, the landing, for "Thriller"-style dancing. Free dance lessons are available throughout October.
