Huronia Museum is calling all zombie enthusiasts to pack a picnic and  join them on October 24, 2015 from 12pm-4pm on the museum grounds for the first ever Picnic of the Living Dead.

Picnic of the Living Dead

The museum is calling on all zombies to meet up for a zombie picnic and zombie activities.   The afternoon includes zombie lacrosse, zombie brain chase, prizes for the Best Dressed Zombie and even a Zombie Talent show to be judged by the museum’s official Zombie Appraisers.  The undead can bring their own picnic basket or  for those who arrive unprepared without their own picnic basket (because preparation is really only for the survivors) a hotdog barbeque and refreshments will be available at the museum.  All of the undead attending this event can also enter the museum’s hashtag contest to win a prize basket.

Make-up artist, Bettie Pain, will also be on site for a Zombie Make Up Workshop to help out all of the newly undead.

For further information on Huronia Museum please contact the museum at 705-526-2844
