Pinon Project plans fun run, games and carnival for Oct. 27
Tori Glazner and Jordan Comisky entered a Halloween costume contest in Cortez in 2016.

The Piñon Project will kick off its annual Halloween festival Oct. 27 with a Pumpkin Fest featuring the 5K Zombie Run in Montezuma Park.

The event will start with a 5K fun run starting off in Montezuma Park, according to a news release from program director Ian Elder-Cheyne.

“You don’t have to outrun the zombies, just your friends,” Piñon Project Director Kellie Willis said in the release. “The fun will continue with a costume contest, trick-or-treating and a carnival with games. We welcome everyone to attend – if they dare!”

The event benefits the Piñon Project. Individual tickets are $30 for adults and $15 for children 17 and younger. Group discounts are available. Fun run participants who preregister with Kelly Proctor at 564-1195 may receive a T-shirt.

The Piñon Project also plans a costumed trick-or-treating parade for adults and children on Main Street, a carnival, games and trick-or-treating.
