ZS Disaster Awareness Fair and Movie Night
On July 21st at 6pm Zombie Squad will be hosting a Disaster Awareness Fair in the south parking lot of Schlafly Tap Room and Brewery @ 2100 Locust Street (at 21st). Mark your calendars!
This Disaster Awareness Fair will be in observation of the storms last summer that tore through St. Louis on July 19 and left over 500,000 people without power, many for a week or more on the hottest days of the year. Another storm hit St. Louis again on December 1st with similar devastation of local utilities. The goal of this fair is to promote the importance of being prepared for disasters like what happened in St. Louis last year and to bring local disaster agencies together.
We are in talks with representatives from a number of local disaster response agencies such at the Red Cross Disaster Services, CERT, Red Cross Blood Services, St. Louis ARES, St. Louis Fire Dept, etc.... Some of these groups have committed to have an information booth at the event; others will have guest speakers to talk about their agency, what they do for the community, and what others can do to be prepared for disasters.
Throughout the evening we will be raffling out cool stuff provided by local businesses like REI as well some new merchandise from Zombie Squad. The raffle tickets are quite cheap. You get one ticket for every 5 cans of food (or $3). Food will be donated to Feed My People.
Later in the evening we will be playing Mad Max:Beyond Thunderdome and Shaun of the Dead as well as Zombie Squad PSAs and other video shorts projected onto a 20+ foot movie screen provided by Frontyard Features! The videos are planned to start around 8:30pm or whenever it gets dark enough.
Oh yeah.. and Schlafly will be providing a beer truck.
The event will be organized and hosted by your friendly neighborhood Zombie Squad and sponsored by Schlafly Beer, REI, Frontyard Features, Cheap Trx, St. Louis Poker Pub.
What to bring with you:
Canned food for the raffle! 5 cans or $3 per ticket (not required but VERY encouraged)
A Chair so you can relax and enjoy the guest speakers and movies/videos
Money for refreshments if you would like to partake in Schlafly goodies.
All your friends (with each bringing the above)
