Zee-Pocalypse Paintball is a chance for Zombie Hunters everywhere to unite and bag live zombies with paintballs! Zombie Hunters hunt at night (when zombies are most active) from an enclosed trailer armed with paintball guns. The florescent glow of the shots let Zombie Hunters know their targets have been acquired. Reservations on-line are a definite must to minimize lengthy wait lines and will tag a spot on a trailer for a designated evening. While Zombie Hunters will be given an estimated time for their ride, we caution that delays could happen and times provided are estimations. That said, arriving early is good, and a late arrival may really delay your ride time.  Price not included in admission.

“The music looks back toward … ‘Blood On The Tracks,’ with strummed guitars, brushes on the drums and neck-rack harmonica, and the words ponder trouble, power, love, God, freedom and mortality.” says THE NEW YORK TIMES.  Plain Spoken is set to be hailed as an unparalleled new chapter in Mellencamp’s distinctive songbook.

In 2014, he also signed a historic “lifetime recording contract” with Republic Records for the release of Plain Spoken and all of his albums to follow.Universal Music Enterprises continues to represent the artist’s prominent catalog as well. Mercury/UME recently released his latest live album, John Mellencamp Sings Trouble No More Live at Town Hall, this past summer.
