Head: Logan Downtown to host Zombie Walk

By Judd Workman

On Saturday at 6 p.m. the Zombie Walk will be held at Federal Avenue and Church Street.

The Zombie Walk, organized by the Logan Downtown Alliance, will give residents an opportunity to support the Cache Community Food Pantry by donating non-perishable food items.

Gary Saxton, the Logan Downtown manager, said his organization “hopes to collect as much food as possible.” In past years, it has collected about 400 pounds of food.

Those who come dressed as a zombie or a zombie hunter, will be given free pizza from The Factory Pizzeria.

Fernando Ortiz, a manager at the restaurant, said the zombies and zombie hunters will have about an hour and a half where they can come in and get free pizza. 

The Factory will be compensated in advance, but the likelihood of it having to serve more pizza than what the money will cover is high.

“If people are still coming and the money we were given up front runs out, we will just keep serving pizza,” Ortiz said. “We are happy to be a part of the event.”

Matt Whitaker, the director of the Cache Community Food Pantry, is always excited when businesses sponsor and promote food donations. The Food Pantry is hoping to receive more than 400 pounds of donations this year, and is “never disappointed in the generosity of Cache Valley.”
