Volunteer "Zombies" Needed for October 24 Zombie Scramble!
 Show off your best zombie impression at the October 24 Zombie Scramble! The City's Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Department is looking for volunteers for a variety of fun opportunities throughout the day.
The Zombie Scramble is a family friendly event where participants attempt to finish a 2-mile course with all of their "lives" intact. The lives are represented by flags hanging off of a flag football belt that participants will wear. Throughout the course, zombies will try to grab their flags as participants scramble to avoid them. If participants lose all of their flags they become "infected" and complete the race as an "infected" person.
