Model City to play host to weekend fall festivals

Friday, October 25, 2013

(WDNG) - The Model City will play host to Halloween festivities this weekend for children and big kids alike.

Noble St. on Saturday will see the first ever Neewollah on Noble festival beginning at 10 a.m. The event is being organized by the Spirit of Anniston and will feature Halloween- and autumn-themed events.

Spirit of Anniston director Dianna Michaels says the family-friendly event will have something for the big kids as well. "We have a big jumbotron that's going to show the SEC game of the week," Michaels said. 38 vendors will be selling food and other items during the Noble St. festival, many of which are local businesses. "We have some folks that are from Birmingham and some from Gadsden," she said, "but for the most part, a lot of local vendors."

As the Neewollah on Noble comes to a close, the fourth annual Noble Street Zombie Walk is scheduled to start with a costume contest at the Cheaha Brewing Company at 9 p.m. and a zombie parade that will march through downtown Anniston at 10 p.m. Events will continue at downtown bars and wrap up with the local Misfits cover band American Nightmare performing at the Crimson Tiger around midnight.

This is organizer Justin Shinn’s first time coordinating the Zombie Walk and said that the event, ironically, won’t die. "Everybody just wants it to go on," Shinn said. "It's no organization to it, it's just an event that is going to happen."

Shinn said he wants the Zombie Walk to be more than a traditional pub crawl. "It doesn't all involve drinking," he said. "It's just coming out, hanging out with people who want to go out and dress up like the undead and have fun."

Michaels says the Saturday events in the Model City will help downtown be successful because there will be something for everyone. She said "even Grace Episcopal Church has their Lobsterfest, so what it's going to do is attract a wide variety of people downtown with a lot of different things happening."

Michaels added that Noble St. will be closed to traffic on Saturday beginning at 8 a.m. and will reopen at 6 p.m.
