Zombie Walk set for downtown Delphos

Submitted information

DELPHOS — The third annual Delphos Zombie Walk will be held Sunday, October 12, (rain date Sunday, October 19).

“Zombies” will gather at The Delphos Herald parking lot on the corner of Fifth and Main streets. For those “newly deads”, the Zombie Walk is a fun and simple concept – dress in one’s best (or worst) Zombie gear, bring a donation of canned goods for the local food pantry, and then lurch and grunt down the street with the other zombies while staying in character, on the hunt for … brains.

The Zombie Walk is a non-profit, family friendly, canned food drive/fundraising event for the Interfaith Thrift Store.

This year’s event will also include the Zombie Market, running from 2-4 p.m. that Sunday; announcements and more festivities will take place afterwards, with the Zombie Walk following at 4:30 that afternoon.

Delphos Zombie Walk t-shirts will again be available this year. The walk will finish at The Rustic Cafe for the official Zombie Walk after-party, with many food and drink specials for the Zombies. There will also be a 50/50 drawing and prizes for the “Best Dressed”, “Scariest”, “Funniest”, “Grossest”, “Most Original”, and “Cutest” (child’s division) Zombie costumes, along with raffles, games, and other prizes!

The Zombie Walk is a family friendly event and everyone is invited, whether to dress up and participate in the walk, set up a vendor booth at the Zombie Market, or just donate some canned goods, do some spooky shopping, and watch as Zombies take over Main Street, Delphos.
