November 15, 2012 When it comes to zombies, Mix 93-1's Lisa Thomas is the biggest fan! She was stoked when she told me about the zombie walk that is coming to Longview Saturday but at the same time bummed because she can't attend.
Almost every store you go into, even before Halloween, has been busting at its seams with Christmas decor. Are people really putting up their decorations this early in the holiday season? Is it even technically the holiday season yet? When do you think you should put up your tree and trimmings?
