The night air is getting chillier and Halloween is just around the corner…The Pember Library and Museum and the Slate Valley Museum are teaming up to host their Third Annual Halloween Party and Zombie Walk. ZOMBIE WALK III will take place during the October First Friday event, October 7, from 7 to 9 pm at both museums.
“Last year’s Zombie Walk was such a huge hit, with over 400 people turning out, we are excited to host it again”, said Krista Rupe, Slate Valley Museum ’s Executive Director. “This year’s event promises to be even more amazing with an expanded lineup at both museums. In addition to a longer zombie parade route, there will be a Zombie Ball, spooky jack o’lanterns, Halloween art, music, treats, special décor and other terrifying surprises.”
There will be live music and a light show at the Pember, where zombies can feast on free “finger” sandwiches, jelly eyeballs, wormy hot dogs, bloody punch, and other delicacies of the undead. Eerie characters will roam the library and a video of ghouls on screen will be projected in the library crypt. Make-up stations will be available to have you look your worst.
“Zombies are a growing presence in the region and demographics are indicating that they will soon rule the world,” said Pember pollster Rob McGuire. “If you are a Zombie or would like to train as one, you owe it to your future to show up on the 7th. It will be a night to die for.”
At the Slate Museum there will be a monster mash with dancing to the most haunting songs around and a Spooky Jack O’Lantern contest with prizes. Carved Pumpkins can be dropped off from October 5-7 from 1-5pm .
“Halloween, originated from Ireland , immigrant children would decorate their faces with soot and dress up to scare the new arrivals to the neighborhood.” said Molly Biggs Celani SVM Board President.
Festivities start out at the Pember at 7pm and continue at SVM at 8pm after the Zombie Walk down Main Street .
