Scare the Square Zombie Walk

FOX Kansas, in partnership with NakedCity Magazine and Young Professionals of Wichita, will host its first annual “Scare the Square Zombie Walk and Can Drive” to collect non-perishable food donations for the Kansas Food Bank, at 7:30 p.m. Saturday October 30.

The free activity will gather zombies of all ages and types at NakedCity Gallery at 121 N. Mead in Old Town to donate non-perishable food items. The zombie mob will then walk through Old Town playing a game of “Dead Light, Green Light” in a race to reach Old Town Square at a slow, zombie-like pace. Prizes will be given to those reaching the Square first, and to the most creative zombie costumes.

“Kansas Food Bank is experiencing a 20 to 30 percent increase in requests for emergency food relief and they need all the help they can get. Zombie walks are becoming big all over the country, and we thought this would be a fun, easy way to encourage young people in Wichita to give back to their community,” says Jeff McCausland, Vice President and General Manager at FOX Kansas and myTVwichita. “Besides, who doesn’t want a great excuse to dress like a zombie?”

Following “Scare the Square,” zombies ages 18 and over are invited to walk the “dead carpet” and attend the NakedCity Halloween Party with DJ Carbon at NakedCity Gallery, starting at 9:00 p.m. Entry is $5, but zombies will pay just $3 with their non-perishable food donation.

Be there, or be scared!
