Halloween weekend: the time when teenagers can dress up, go out and scare each other to death. This weekend will be no exception; as NAU will be having its very own type of Zombie-fest.
Friday at noon there will be a zombie walk to promote the weekend’s main event: the Fall of KJACK Zombie Night. To participate in the zombie walk, simply meet in front of the Communications building at noon. Don’t have the make up to look like the living dead? No worries, there will be make-up artists there.
