Eureka Springs Zombie Crawl Parade

Native Americans once told of a miraculous healing spring in the Arkansas Ozarks. Spanish explorers scoured this area seeking the elusive Fountain of Youth. For centuries, people have flocked to the healing waters of Eureka Springs, seeking health and vitality. From blindness to baldness, the magical power of pure Eureka Springs water seemed to know no limits.
