Zombie Rocks

During the month of October, be on the lookout for zombie-themed painted rocks cleverly hidden throughout the community.

Lucky recipients will be entered into a drawing to win a frightful gift basket delivered to your porch on Halloween!

Instructions will be on the back of the rock.

Big thanks to our DuPont teens for painting these little treasures!
