The 2011 Fort Collins, Colorado, Zombie Fest is slated for October 22, 2011, when the undead take over downtown Fort Collins to raise money for Turning Point. Creatures of all ages are welcome to participate in these TO DIE FOR events!

LMC (Local MC): What allure does the Zombie Crawl provide to those who participate and does it accommodate for all ages?

ZC (Zombie Crawl): The appeal is in the fun getting to dress up and getting into character. The appeal of the zombie is it’s scary but not too scary. Right now there is a lot of buzz on the subject. Also bringing a “what if” about zombies. Yes, we make it all ages, during the day is the Teen Scream and Zombie Kids. For high-school kids we have the Zombie Prom, and Zombie Ball for adults. The Crawl is a family friendly event.

LMC: From what I previously mentioned, what is your favorite part of the Crawl?

ZC: Last year it was all the people showing up in costume and the crowning of the zombie king and queen. This year I’m looking forward to the Faded Freakshow’s place at the Crawl and DJ N810 spinning some fun music.

LMC: What else is new that will lure the undead to rise and roam the streets of Old Town?

ZC: We have lots of activities and fun for everyone, like all the new featured locations.

LMC: How many participated last year and how many do you expect this year?

ZC: Over 600 hundred wrist bands were sold last year and lots more participated. We encourage people to get wrist bands so they can participate in the specials from the featured locations. This year we are hoping for 1000 attendees.

LMC: So from what you’ve heard about the Faded Freakshow, what act are you dying to see? No pun intended, or maybe it was.

ZC: Of course Slim FadEy eating a vinyl record, Woody McHaggis drilling a power drill into his face, and the lovely bearded ladies.

LMC: If you could do anything with the Crawl with no restrictions, what would it be?

ZC: Bring up George Romero and have the mayor declare October 22^nd Z-Day in Fort Collins.

LMC: Who else is involved in the Crawl besides Turning Point?

ZC: There are a lot of companies working on the Crawl, but Realities for Children and Otter Box are major local sponsors.

LMC: What else is Turning Point involved in the rest of the year?

ZC: A golf tournament and Pedal to the Point – a bike tour.

LMC: How can people get involved?

ZC: They can go to TurningPoint.org to volunteer for the Crawl, or for more info., call Nathan @ 970.567.6459 or [email protected].
