ZOMBIE PIRATES @ THE 2011 TYBEE ISLAND PIRATE FEST

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8TH FROM 11:00AM - 6:00PM

Arrgh!!! Thar Be Zombies!

Prior to this year’s Savannah Zombie Walk, we thought it would be fun to promote the Walk at some other events! So we are going to be entering a float in the Tybee Island Pirate Fest parade.

That’s right, thar be ghastly things that sail these waters at Tybee!

We will be meeting at Tybee around 11am, prior to the Parade to get everyone ready with makeup and staged for the float. We’ll have makeup available and a few makeup artists on hand to assist.

This float will help promote & raise more canned food for America’s Second Harvest Food Bank–our charity of choice for the Walk. Second Harvest will be supplying us with a banner, bins for food collecting and helping to promote our Walk.

But……

First we’ll need some help building our float!
We will have a Ford F150 with a flatbed trailer hitched to the back we’ll need to decorate.

Our Idea: A shipwrecked island! 
Think sandy shores, shipwrecked pieces of a pirate ship with an undead mermaid decoration on the bow (do I hear rotten boney fish tail with someone’s torso in zombie makeup?), swampy trees, spooky marshes, palmetto frawns, a fog machine to give it that creepy Scooby Do effect! A pirate chest on the float to take canned food donations. Then to top it off we’ll fill our float with the undead swashbuckling denizens of Davey Jones’ locker that have clawed their way up from the depths of the sea.

Yo ho ho and a bottle of braiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiins! This is gonna be a blast!!!

Participants: Limited 30 Pirate Zombies
First come first serve, or rather, the first 30 Zombie pirates who register, pays their donation fee (to help deter the cost of float fees and supplies) and signs up to help, gets to participate!! Donation fees are small only $5 a person (plus the cost of Tybee Fest tickets, purchased separately)

We’ll meet a few times prior to the event to decorate and get props built! All participants must be willing to help out before the parade. But of course ANYONE is able to help out prior to the event! Children are welcome. This is a FAMILY FRIENDLY EVENT.

Register and Pay your $5 Donation Here.
