Unfortunately, the current economic fallout has effected Zombie Fest in a number of ways. Many of last year's local business participants were unable to offer their services this year due to negligent bills and the like. Additionally, we were unable to find a venue that could safely provide for the 400+ attendees we were expecting on a date that did not compete with other local businesses during the holiday season.

For the meantime, the event will be cancelled indefinitely.

Currently, the Downtown Evening Soup Kitchen is in dire need of your help. We will be exploring other avenues to raise money and food donations for the needy during the season. We will post additional blogs containing any information related to such events.

I urge all of you to keep giving during these tough economic times. Here's how:

Food donations and other supplies can be brought to 311 Temple Street, Monday through Thursday, between 1:00 and 6:00 p.m. For more information, contact:
