How it Works:
-Drop off costumes during store hours starting now through Oct 19. You will receive swap tokens on the day of the event that will be used to obtain your “new to you” costumes. One complete costume equals one token. Share with others and bring as many used costumes as possible. Leftover costumes will be donated to a local charity.
-Kids’ costumes sizes 0–16 will be accepted. Sizes should be clearly marked.
-Costumes should be complete and must be clean, with no stains, rips or tears (unless part of the costume).
-We will host event outside with racks clearly marked.
