Halloween
zombies of all ages will unite for the first annual Zombie Downtown Crawl on
Saturday, October 27. All zombies should meet at the Central Library’s patio,
101 E. Abram Street, at 5:00 p.m. to register.
The Zombie
Downtown Crawl is sponsored by the Arlington Public Library Foundation and will
benefit Arlington-Mansfield Community Summer Reading Program.
Several downtown
restaurants will provide special discounts at specific times during the evening. Grease Monkey, Mellow Mushroom, Maverick’s Bar and
Grill and Twisted Root Burger are some of the restaurants participating. All
you have to do is buy a wristband for $5.00 to get special deals and discounts
around town AND support literacy.
“The Zombie Downtown
Crawl is all about a community celebration, having fun and supporting a good
cause,” said Sharon Granado, Arlington’s Library Service Manager for Youth
Services. “Our goal is to raise a lot of resources to support the
Arlington-Mansfield Community Summer Reading Program, which is designed to help
area students enhance reading skills.”
The Arlington Public
Library held a superhero-themed crawl in the spring, which raised more than
$1,000 for the summer reading program for children.
