  • Littleton Zombie Crawl:This party will be dead

     One doesn’t usually associate the living dead with a fun family outing. 

    Yet that’s exactly how the organizers of the Littleton Zombie Crawl and Pig Roast describe this Saturday’s event. 

    The crawl will feature hordes of zombies that will shuffle through downtown Littleton to the Reinke Bros. store to gorge themselves on two roasted pigs. And while 800 or so people in full zombie makeup might not sound like the best environment for kids, the organizers make it as family-friendly as possible.

  • Eagles shake early nerves

    If there’s one thing that Dakota Ridge head coach Marv Van Lingen has been working on with the Lady Eagles, it’s putting together a complete game. The way the Sept. 28 “Think Pink” game started for both Dakota Ridge and visiting Chatfield, it didn’t appear either team was likely to do that.

    Make no bones about it, Dakota Ridge senior Carson Hume would’ve preferred to have won the Dave Sanders Invitational on Sept. 27 at Clement Park. That’s the competitor in him speaking. But sixth place on a rainy, muddy day wasn’t too shabby.
