It’s that time of year again! Halloween is just around the corner. And, Thai Ginger and Redmond Town Center are ready for yet another great event! It’s an “Invasion of Zombies” this Saturday, September 27th. Join us for a “Spooktacular” day. What’s more, Thai Ginger is giving $3 OFF every entree to patrons dressed in Zombie Garb. In addition, you can win a Thai Ginger $25 or $50 gift certificate for best zombie costume. Happening all day at Thai Ginger & Redmond Town Center.

Here’s all the details…

AN INVASION OF THE REDMOND TOWN CENTER

Back for the 10th year! Every year thousands of dancers and spectators shamble, stagger, and shimmy their way down to Redmond Town Center for the annual THRILL THE WORLD REDMOND. After several weeks of Thriller workshops, Zombies aged 8 to 108 invade the Town Center in their best bloody rags for a simultaneous dance to Michael Jackson’s Thriller and raise money for worthwhile charitable causes.

WE WANT YOU TO JOIN THE HORDE!

Bring the kids and the grandparents, because this is a family friendly day of fun. Don’t like to dance? Get a ghastly pallor expertly applied by our makeup artists for your souvenir photo, check out fabulous performances from local musicians and actors, and go shopping! Retailers all over the Town Center will be offering special discounts for customers in zombie-wear, and restaurants will be offering discounts, deals, and their signature Zombie Cocktails. And don’t forget to show off your amazing costume in the costume contest! We’ll be giving away “to-die-for” prizes from our shops and restaurants.

FUNDRAISING FOR CHARITY

This year Redmond Town Center is supporting Team Survivor Northwest.  Their mission is to provide a broad range of fitness and health education programs to enable women cancer survivors, in any stage of treatment or recovery and at any fitness level, to take an active role in their ongoing physical and emotional healing.
