(Atlantic, Iowa) – The City of Atlantic could become a qualifying site to hold a Bill Reilly Talent Show, with winners moving on to the State Fair Competition. Assistant Parks and Recreation Department Director Jeff Christensen spoke with the Parks and Rec Board about the possibility, and some hurdles that are in the way.

He says the event would be a great way to use the band shell at Sunnyside Park.

Christensen told the Parks Board that the Parks Department “Zombie Run,” held on October 29th, was a big hit.

Parks Board President Jolene Smith said the Royal Neighbors helped out with the Zombie Run that night, by providing hot apple cider, water, candy and treats.
