As you probably already know, anybody is welcome to make a submission to info@makecincinnatiweird to get it published on the blog, whether it’s a blurb or article, photos, or for a happening or event.  However, a regular group of creative and dynamic team members can make all the difference…

So, we would like to put out an open call to everyone out there (in and around Cincinnati) to consider participating in Make Cincinnati Weird, whether in the writing, planning, and/or managing aspects of being a regular (and enthusiasm is ideal)!  Not time-consuming at all, if everyone chips in.  If interested, email us at info@makecincinnatiweird.com (or message us on Facebook) with any experience or blurb, or really anything you feel like saying.

Love,
MCW

A zombie invasion made up of the people who show up will split into two groups at the Underground Railroad Freedom Center (50 East Freedom Way) and “zombie walk” to Fountain Square, where they will surround a team of S.T.A.R.S. cosplayers, who are trying to hold Fountain Square from the inevitable zombie invasion. Show up in your best zombified state and join the crowd!

The Zombie Walk is also partnered with the Freestore Foodbank and will be collecting canned goods both at the Freedom Center and Fountain Square. Please bring a canned item to donate.

Once the zombie invasion of Fountain Square is complete, there will be an all-ages no-cost after-party including live music and performances by zombies and any surviving S.T.A.R.S. members!

The walk starts at 7:30 PM at Freedom Center and concludes with the after-party from 9:30 PM to 11 PM at Fountain Square. Come join us and help zombify Cincinn……BRAINS……
