DESCRIPTION: Zombies should stop and sign in to be eligible for prizes and giveaways.
Once signed in there will be a mass gathering just up the street at Elmwood & Bidwell to start the event.

ZOMBIE WALK:
Open to the public, all ages.
Starts at 1:00 pm and continues to 4:00 pm.
You can walk up and down the event route as many times as you wish or as little as you want, the route ends at Allen St in the Bar district.
Please walk on the sidewalks facing traffic for optimum exposure. Another mass meeting will take place towards the end of the walk to meet and greet other Zombies.

ZOMBIE PUB CRAWL:
21 and older only. Bring ID.
Starts at 6:00 pm until 9:00 pm, but you can stay out as long as you want.
You are invited once again to walk the Elmwood Strip and stop in each Bar, drinking is not required to participate, but if you want to win stuff you need to attend each Bar involved in the event.
Bars with specials TBA.
We are working on Shuttle Service to provide Elmwood Transportation, there may be a keg on-board!!
Keep in mind you might be asked for a picture ID at the bars and your zombie face might not match your picture ID. If you are refused entry, please understand the doorman is only doing his job and move on to the next Bar.

RULES & CODE OF CONDUCT:
COSTUMES are Encouraged but not Required.
Pets are allowed but not encouraged for the walk, but not allowed for the Pub Crawl.
If you do bring a pet please try to dress them for the occasion.
Children may attend the Zombie Walk and there are contests just for the kids, but some may be too scared once they get there, we don't want to be responsible for traumatizing them for life... do we? Parental Discretion is Advised, you know your kids better than we do.
Making homemade blood is cool, but is sticky and tends to attract bugs, you are better off buying tubes or pints online, average tube cost is $2 and pints normally run $8, Rotten Jacks Creep Shack can be a good spot to pick up supplies and props.

PROPS: No Illegal items, NO Guns fake or real, NO real knives, chains, sledgehammers, picks, shovels and such are okay but don't get stupid with them and swing them about.

NO ALCOHOL while walking, the Police will be on patrol to ensure public safety, unless you want a hefty fine to pay. Drunk Zombies will be asked to end their fun if tagged by one of our many spotters or if we get complaints by other Zombies or establishment owners. Needless to say but NO Drug use allowed.

DO NOT make a mess, no littering, no squirting or puking fluids on bystanders, sidewalks or in establishments. Blood & Guts left on the sidewalk in front of a store doesn't attract customers. Sure they will be curious but keep you limb(s) to yourselves, give them your best groan and evil eye(s) and leave it at that.

HARRASSING onlookers or passerby's is not allowed, do not hold up the flow of traffic or stick your decaying torso inside vehicles, you might regret it if you take one in the face from somebody freaking out or protecting their property. Things like arguing, fighting, abusive behavior, breaking property will all put future Zombie events in jeopardy as well as yourself. We will have several photographers & video crews filming the event.

CROSS at provided crosswalks, NO “J”walking allowed, moving vehicles can kill Zombies, look both ways before crawling into intersections and obey the signs. When crossing, it's OK to "break character" and cross quickly. Blocking traffic is a crime and anyone doing so could be arrested. No walking in the street is allowed, stay on the sidewalk at all times.

STAY IN character as much as possible, and have fun with it. Remember you have lost the ability to speak. You have been unearthed and Rigor mortis has set in so walking is difficult for you. Drag that bad leg, reach with stiff arms, and moan and groan, remember your there for the brainnnnnnsssss.
Don’t think like a zombie. BE THE ZOMBIE! Seize the moment because we have a few movie makers scouting the event for help in upcoming movies being filmed in the area this summer. So ham it up! Please remember to stay in character as much as you UN-humanly can!

DISCLAIMER:
PARTICIPATE AT YOUR OWN RISK
I read this on another zombie crawl's website and it makes sense...
Besides setting a place and a date for this public event, and inviting you to dress up like zombies and wander around in public...we have no responsibility for who shows up, how they act, or the other 1,000,000 things that could go wrong each-and-every-time you go out in public. Like any other stroll down a sidewalk, things can happen. This is a completely open and voluntary event, and we cannot be held responsible if you get hurt, arrested, or otherwise inconvenienced. Whatever care you take when you normally go out in public, you should also take the day of the Zombie Walk. Avoid confrontations! Your Dead, what are they gonna prove! Come for the History, Stay for the BRAINS !!!
