"Pre-Show" 8am to 10am October 30th
You know how you feel every Monday morning? Remember how you looked after that all night party? Remember that time you died and came back as the living dead?
Well with the 1st annual Detroit FanFare Zombie Walk, you can relive all those undead moments and more!
This event will launch our first day of festivities! Beginning Saturday, the morning of October 30th about 1 mile from the Hyatt Regency, and ending at our front doors by 10am to kick-off the show.
As a Special Treat! Attending will be Detroit's very own Zombie Horror Skit-Com......The Ded Dave Show!
Registration is between 6am-8am on the morning of October 30th. All registered zombies will receive free admission to the convention. Prizes will be handed out for the best zombie, most original zombie, and best group of zombies.
You will definitely want to be a part of the first annual Detroit FanFare Zombie Walk!
Monetary Donations Accepted through the 31st
Feel your wallet "drained" after one of those big event weeks at your local comic book store? Feel like the publishers are asking an arm and a leg for your favorite monthly book?
Well at Detroit FanFare all we want for these fabulous comics is your blood! Working with the American Red Cross Detroit Chapter, this event is going to be one of the best for everyone. Comic book stores and publishers from all over, will donate their overstock of comics to the American Red Cross.
On Saturday the 30th, there will be a room where fans and collectors can go to donate blood and receive a hefty pile of free comics. Or if you are unable to give blood or just hate needles, you can still get these comic books for a small monetary donation to the Red Cross. Either way the Red Cross gets valuable donations of blood or money to help them with emergencies right here in our area. And you get comics for your contribution! So lend the Red Cross your support on October 30th to give blood or donate, or the 31st and make a monetary contribution during Detroit Fanfare's "Blood 4 comics".
Bring an armful and take an armful away!
