I’ve always told people Wyoming is the best place to survive a zombie apocalypse: not very many people, not very many zombies. That wasn’t the case though on Saturday when about a hundred zombies lurched their way through downtown Cheyenne. Okay. So they weren’t real zombies, but still I couldn’t keep myself from making a few “Zombieland” references to some of the participants and fellow members of the local media during the Cheyenne Zombie Fest.
