Halloween is just around the corner and I’m so excited to tell all you local Lancaster readers about an awesome opportunity to save big on your kids’ Halloween costumes this year! Macaroni Kid Lancaster and Kindermusik Studio have partnered to bring the National Costume Swap to Lancaster!
I’ve never heard of this so maybe you haven’t either. Let me give you the scoop: National Costume Swap grew out of a grassroots effort by an organization called Green Halloween. It’s recycling at it’s best: Your kids get to hand off their previously worn (probably barely worn) Halloween costumes to another kid, while they get to enjoy a new-to-them Halloween costume from another child. Brilliant, right?
If half the kids who celebrated Halloween participated in a costume swap like this one, it would reduce annual landfill waste by 6,250 TONS. Halloween costumes create that much waste? I had no idea. That makes this event both frugal and green! Win-win!
If you want to participate, here are the details:
Drop of your swap-able costumes at Kindermusik Studios. The address is 301 Main Street in Landisville and the drop-off date is October 1st, 2011 from 10am to 2pm. In exchange for your costume you’ll be given a swap-ticket to be brought back for the swap event. (Read above for an additional drop off on 9/27 and how to make other arrangements if needed.)
The swap event is October 8, 2011 from 10am to 2pm. Swap your costume and then enjoy some free play at Kindermusik! You may even get a few goodies from Green Halloween and Macaroni Kid, too!
This is a fantastic opportunity to save money and do something good for the planet. If you want to know more, contact Valene at Macaroni Kid Lancaster.
