I am sponsoring a Halloween Costume Swap in Rockville, MD on 10/1/2011

I am uber-excited about it—saving money on costumes is extremely difficult for families—and the cost is outrageous!

This year….it’s a SWAP EVENT and the costume is FREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

How do you participate?

Go through your closet & your kids’ closets. BE GENEROUS!!! A funky shirt; legwarmers; cool shoes; costume jewelry; sport coat; formal dress; handbags; a fur shrug or hat; or even 1980s sunglasses—someone will use your pieces to create the perfect costume! Grab all the costumes & accessories from years’ past that you’ll never wear again & that your kids’ have outgrown. PLEASE BRING ONLY GOOD QUALITY CLOTHING & COSTUMES. [Damaged or worn costumes will be gladly donated to a local charitable organization, but please put those in a separate bag.]

For every costume you donate you will receive a ticket to swap out for a new one. We gladly take donations of additional costumes even if you don’t want to swap that many. The more pieces donated the more you get to choose from.

Who can participate?

Adults and children are welcome to swap for a new Halloween costume. People who recycle and care about the earth tend to take great care of their clothing. Recyclers and caring people welcome.

Where do I drop off the costumes?

The drop off location is at Studio-310 in the Traville Gateway shopping center located at 9743 Traville Gateway Drive, Rockville, Maryland 20850. This is the same location as the Halloween Swap Event on Saturday, 10/8.

What can I expect?

Swapping clothing can be super-fun! If you donate three costumes, you will leave with three costumes! The Studio is equipped with fabulous mirrors so you can try on the costume in the fitting room area and get opinions from others attendance if you’d like. You will receive a complimentary bag upon exit.

Do not attend the Swap with any ill intentions. There is global recession and everyone is experiencing a shrink in the wallet, so please be considerate.
