ABOUT THE EVENT
As the leaves turn and the air gets crisp, Putnam Rotary Park is gearing up to welcome the fall and Halloween season with a frightfully fun event! The Zombie Fashion Show, a highlight of the local autumn festivities, is back and promises to be more spine-chillingly entertaining than ever.
On October 3, 2025, the park will transform into a haunted runway where zombies of all ages will showcase their most gruesome looks. The event kicks off at 7:00 p.m. sharp, with the eerie sounds of Daley's "Deadly" DJ service and Master of the Crypt (MC) for the evening, “Scary” (Gary) O of WINY Radio setting the tone for a night of spooky spectacles.
