The Thriller Commeth

Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize y'alls neighborhood

The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grizzly ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom

And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller

Bwah Ha Ha Ha Ha
Saturday Night....on Halloween....9pm at the Fairhaven Green

For some tips on Zombie Wear, check out the video below.

Oktoberfest a Smash!

We had a ton of fun at our Oktoberfest Tournament over the weekend. Take a look at these videos and see what was happening here at the Club!

"Thriller" Lessons are a Hoot!

We just finished the third week of our 5 week series on learning the "Thriller" dance....and we managed to zombie our way though all the steps. Practice Practice PRACTICE! We are all having a ton of fun - there are about 60 folks who have signed up for this craziness and we are all looking pretty good, even if I do say so myself. Instructors Liam, Della, and Matt are doing a great job of keeping our ghoul going. Here is what we learned last night.....the last third of the dance!


Check out this quick interview with two of our zombies....

Later this week: more dancing, more interviews, and "Zombie Wear"

Be sure to watch for us somewhere in Fairhaven at about 9pm on Halloween!

Helping Whatcom County’s Hungry & Homeless

November 13th 6pm-14th 6pm

3 WAYS TO HELP US REACH OUR

$10,000 FUNDRAISING GOAL!

• Participate in Sweat 24
• Bid during our Silent Auction
• Bring in non-perishable foods or personal items
  

Why a benefit for our Hungry & Homeless?
We are passionately committed to helping people live a healthier life through the physical, mental, and social benefits of exercise. We figure that one of the first steps toward better health is having enough to eat and plenty of rest each night which brings us to this fundraiser. We hope to raise awareness, money, and donated items for the hungry and homeless in our community while benefitting our participants' lives with 24 hours of fun and exercise.
How fortunate most of us are not to have to worry about where our next meal is coming from and if we'll have a place to sleep for the night. In this spirit, and as a primary step toward better health, we hope you will join us in wanting to help others in our community who DO have these concerns.

Please go to our website to learn more about this event!
~ Sincerely, Robin & Doug Robertson, Club Owners
