October 2, 6:45 p.m. Come dressed as a ZOMBIE, stay in character. Zombies will gather at the Eighth Street Bulk Head

(8th and Reynolds) Just before sunset (6:45) and start their shamble shortly after sunset (7:05-ish). We will shamble up to

Broad Street and take a right, walk down to 12th street where will cross to the other side of Broad, and then shamble

back to 8th street & Broad where our walk will end. For the uninitiated, the Zombie Walk is a simple concept -- you dress

up in zombie gear, lurch your way through downtown with the other zombies, and stay in character, grunting and slurring

on the hunt for fresh brains and flesh. THE WALK IS A FAMILY-FRIENDLY EVENT so everyone is invited! While zombies may defy the rules of physics, they are still citizens and thus can and will be held legally responsible for their

actions. So we ask you to keep the following Zombie Walk rules in mind. REMEMBER: even if the only thing you can say is

"BRAAAAAAAINS," it can still be held against you in a court of law. ANY (FAKE!) BLOOD you may drip on the

sidewalk is considered vandalism, and you can be held financially responsible for the cleanup. Please do not drip blood on

the sidewalks or smear it on buildings/monuments/etc. STAY ON THE SIDEWALKS. Not only is it dangerous to

yourself and motorists if you run out in the road or jaywalk, it's also illegal. Do remember that the zombie walk is a family-

friendly event. Lots of underage zombies were present last year, and we are expecting even more children this year. DO

NOT SHOW UP DRUNK, SCREAM OBSCENITIES, BRING WEAPONS, OR ATTACK ANYONE. LASTLY, please respect any police officers who may step in to cease the walk. It is their right to do so if the zombies are

impeding traffic or otherwise engaging in illegal activities. It is best to follow orders and disperse quietly. After all we want

to keep this event coming back each year! *Augusta Zombie Walk and it's organizers are not responsible for individuals or

their actions while on the walk. All participants walk at their own risk.* Website: on.fb.me/1P1Seji
