TORRINGTON - With springtime here and summer just around the corner, downtown Torrington welcomes the return of warm night, art exhibitions, street fairs and zombies?

On May 21, zombies will take to the streets during the Brazen Betties 2nd Annual Street Fair for the Love of Art.

Artwell Gallery will sponsor the First Annual Zombie Crawl, a fund raiser with all proceeds going to scholarships for local children in Artwell's Summer Education Program. Artwell offers summer education programs each year for children, teens, and adults and would like to provide scholarships this year to children who cannot afford summer art classes.

Zombies who wish to participate are encouraged to sign sponsors for the event and can download a pledge form with all event information from the gallery's website at: www.artwellgallery.org.

Festivites kick-off at 4 p.m. and will include on-site zombie makeovers, a huge zombie walk through the 'Dead Center' of Torrington. Zombies will leave the gallery at 5 p.m. sharp and invade the unsuspecting streets of Torrington. While downtown the zombies will pillage, plunder and try to abduct Mayor Ryan Bingham, and take over the 2nd Annual Brazen Betties Birthday Street Fair.
