The Last First Friday: What a Perfectly Ghoulish Way To End the Season!
|
The walking dead walked — and danced — right through our town on Friday, Nov. 7, as Discover Lansdale hosted a fitting finale for a fabulous First Friday season.
We share a few photos of the annual Zombie Walk below, courtesy James Short and North Penn Now. The prize winners (you all killed it!):
