It was a blast~! Hope you made it out on 10/26!
See you in the Spring for some truly wacky zombie action!
10-26-2008
This is the event we've been waiting for!
(Yeah, yeah. We know. That's not grammatically correct.
Alas, 'This is the event for which we've been waiting.'
just doesn't have as much oomph, does it?
...and this event will have a lot of oomph!)
click the image below to learn the about the origin
of world zombie day and it's wonderful organizers!

WORLD ZOMBIE DAY! Zombie walk against hunger!
Zombies the world 'round will join forces and stagger through their local streets with one goal in mind: to fight world hunger!
Food (& fund!) drive to benefit Gleaners Food Bank
with a portion of the proceeds dedicated for Ferndale's own (3) food banks!
Note: we know there's a lot of info below, but if you're thinking
about attending, please read it! it's important!
* New! RULES posted below the details!
Yeah, yeah... we have to have rules.
Gory Details
WHEN: Sunday, October 26th - Registration is at 3PM
Why register? EVERY ZOMBIE must sign in because this is
going into the Guinness Book of World Records. Not our walk alone, but a total count of all zombies around the world who walk in solidarity on this day. So whether there are 5 or 45- zombies in any given city- RISE and be counted!
All we'll need is your name and the city and state in which you live.
You sign in, we stamp your hand, and then we walk. Simple dimple!
WHERE: Meet at the parking lot just NORTH of 9 Mile (behind 9 mile businesses) just WEST of Woodward.
WHY: We'll be walking to raise awareness about world hunger, and to raise food and funds for Gleaners to help needy families who live right here in Michigan.
HOW: Whether you're walking or not, please bring a few cans of food to the walk. More if you're able! Spectators (at least the ones who know in advance) and photographers, this means you, please! Food, funds, or both! Thanks!
WALKERS: Print out a PLEDGE SHEET by clicking here to open it as a PDF. Simply ask friends, family and co-workers to help feed hungry families in Michigan by sponsoring your walk. We've made it easy for you by including that info right on the pledge form.
We're good like that.
They can pledge a total of $5, $10... even $5,000. Whatever amount they'd like. Every penny goes to the food banks.
Cash is fine, but any checks should be made payable to Gleaners.
All monetary donations are tax deductible.

What do you get for your efforts?
A sense of accomplishment, the wonderful feeling of selflessness and the beauty of having given to someone less fortunate.
...and if that isn't enough for you, the zombie who brings the most in pledges gets the grand prize. ..and it is grand. Door prizes go to those who are lucky enough to have the winning ticket! (tickets will be distributed to walkers upon registering)
Walkers who attend without bringing any sponsored donations will be publicly ridiculed.
Noooo. of course we wouldn't do that. Gees.....
But really- try, eh? Everyone knows someone who would sponsor them- even if just a few folks. There are more families than you could even imagine who need help.
We very respectfully request that any zombies who do not succeed in bringing in pledges, donate some food and/or funds themselves. Let's make Gleaners proud!
Thanks very much! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to click here to email us!
who says you only have to follow rules until you die?!
RULES of CONDUCT for the UNDEAD
- Arrive sober and plan on staying that way until you're on your own time. This is a family event & fund raiser, you weirdo!
- There will be no "victims" on this walk, so be prepared to selflessly shamble in search of someone ELSE'S dinner this time. (Food drive, get it?) GRRAAAAAINNSSS.....
- Try not to (wait- just DO NOT) make a mess with the fake blood (sorry to ruin the mystery, folks! it's fake.) in the parking lot. There will be a designated bleeding area. Really.
There will. Just look for it. If you bloody up the parking lot, you're staying after class to clean it up.
- During the walk -as always- PLEASE STAY IN CHARACTER!
We'll be filming, and there will likely be photographers about, so PLEASE- don't wreck it. Stay off your cell phones during the walk, eh?
Bringing a friend who's not dressed as a zombie? They can watch, but can't walk with you. The living don't walk with the dead, you see. Footage has been ruined by the smiling living guy or gal trotting along beside us. Don't be that guy/gal.
- I think that's all, but I still feel like yelling, so... Eat your VEGETABLES or you won't get any dessert!

Future plans already in the works include:
SPRING 2009 - Another benefit, but a totally different experience.
Different type of charity, different scene, different rules.
Muhuhahahahahaaaaaaa!
You'll have to see it to believe it. Or... join in the fun and get a little dirty.
Getting a little dirty never hurt anyone, right?
