The night air is getting chillier, and Halloween is just around the corner. The Pember Library and Museum and the Slate Valley Museum are teaming up to host their Second Annual Halloween Party and Zombie Walk. Zombie Walk II will take place during the October First Friday event, this year rescheduled to the second Friday of the month – Oct. 9, from 7-9 p.m. at both museums.
“Last year’s Zombie Walk was such a huge hit, we knew we would do it again,” said Krista Rupe, Slate Valley Museum director. “This year’s event promises to be even more amazing with an expanded lineup at both museums. In addition to a longer zombie parade route, there will be a Zombie Ball, spooky stories, Halloween art, music, treats, special décor and other terrifying surprises.”
At the Pember, zombies can feast on “finger” sandwiches, jelly eyeballs, wormy hot dogs, bloody punch, and other delicacies of the undead. Make-up stations will be available to help you look your worst.
Wayne Rizzo, master artist of the macabre, will be back at the Pember with a one-man show of the ghoulish and grotesque for the month of October. Wayne studied at the Art Students League in New York City and has had work at all area galleries. The exhibition will be on view from Oct. 1-31 and will include many paintings not shown here before. An artist reception will be held from 6-9 p.m. on Oct. 9.
