On October 26, The Central Coast Autism Spectrum Center will hold its 5^th annual Zombie Invasion SLO 5K fun run for the whole family at Camp San Luis Obispo. Participants will run/walk through different terrains and obstacles courses, all while being chased around and avoiding their flags to be caught by zombies.

Participants will enjoy shaved ice, food, vendor booths, a bounce house, free entry to Gladiator Paintball Park, and a goodie bag with a t-shirt and small gift items. This event is possible with the help of a grant from the City of San Luis Obispo, as well as the great efforts of the California Philanthropy Group.

This year’s Zombie Invasion SLO is hoping to raise community awareness and over funds for The Central Coast Autism Spectrum Center, which runs primarily on fundraising efforts and donations, in order to provide support, workshops, and social events for individuals and families touched by the autism spectrum.

It’s Cody Johnson’s Time

After landing two releases in the Top 10 of Billboard’s country albums chart on his own CoJo label and selling 74,000 tickets for a single show, to earn recognition as the only unsigned artist in history to sell out NRG Stadium at RodeoHouston, one of Texas’ most-sought-after talents finally agreed to sign with a major label. Warner Music Nashville won a Music Row sweepstakes and enticed Johnson – who’d turned down several majors before – to join the team and take a shot at turning a concert success story into one with multimedia, national hit-making cred.

Johnson’s passionate, rowdy concerts have already drawn comparisons to Garth Brooks, and the music from his previous albums – inspired by ‘90s country foundations, but built for the 21st century – has made him a familiar presence on Texas and Oklahoma red-dirt radio.
