Urban Zombie Hunt

The world needs your help. The town is being overrun by people infected with a new virus, one that takes over their bodies and causes them to become the undead. Do you think you can handle this mission without being infected? In this startlingly realistic opportunity, you’ll be able to fight back against the zombies, shooting them with paintball guns with no risk of being shot back--although they can grab you if you’re too slow. Come out and defend the city of Pataskala--and everyone else in the world--and shows your friends and family just how brave you are as you all search for the cure and try not to get eaten.

Antique Power Show

Before the name turns you off, consider this: the Antique Power Show is actually really cool, and lots of fun for the whole family. Whether or not you’re into tractor pulls (and who isn’t?) this day of community bonding and a whole lot of gas engines is one of those things that make living in a small town so unique. Plus, where there is a large gathering, there’s almost always food. Cars may not be your jam, but some of the weird things they put in old cars are always worth checking out, or this may be a time to hang out with your friends and wonder what exactly could be so fascinating under that hood…
