The First Annual Enfield Zombie Walk was created in order to help those in need at the Enfield Food Shelf, a local food shelter opened in 1968 offering free food to needy local families. In order to walk the 0.8 mile course, the entrance fee was $5 and 3 canned food items. The walk began at John F. Kennedy Middle School, where makeup artists were supplied for those not as sfx gifted as others, and ended at the Enfied Fire Department. Once they reached the firehouse the fun didn't stop there. They were greeted by tons of music, food, drinks, a costume contest with prizes, tons of zombie vendors, and a huge thriller dancer performed by the horde. The best part was, that all proceeds went straight to the food shelter.
I have to say, it's great to see a community come together, have some fun, and do some good in the process. If you want more information on the walk as well as getting involved in next year's, visit the Zombie Walk Website HERE. This is a great program and I definitely would have gone if I had heard about it sooner. But, I promise all of you, that I will be there next year and I'll provide updates throughout the year on both this and similar local events.
