Fifth Annual Zombie Walk

Participation appeared to have increased for the fifth annual zombie walk in downtown Lawrence, which occurred on the evening of Thursday, Oct. 6. Zombies started walking at 7 p.m. at the gazebo in South Park at 1141 Massachusetts, and then walked north to 6th Street and back. Participants had the option of donating to the Lawrence Humane Society, which raised about $800. "People were pretty into it, there were a lot of people who just wanted to watch the zombies," Sara Logan, a senior from Lansing, said. Logan warns at Three Spoons downtown and said the event boosted business. Other businesses downtown also saw the benefits of the walk, not only from participants but from viewers who came just to watch. "I think it's more fun to watch than to dress up," Bridget Lamb, a senior from Exton, Pa., said. "It's definitely a very Lawrence thing."
