Community Youth Halloween Costume Exchange & Donation Event
Drop off before Friday, Oct. 7; choose a different costume on Tuesday, Oct. 11 or Thursday, Oct. 13 The bummer about kids Halloween costumes is that they’re pretty much a one-use item. Kids grow so fast, and unless there are younger siblings to wear them another year, costumes are useless after a single season. Now, you can give new life to a gently used costume! Rosemount Parks and Recreation has set up a Children’s Halloween Costume Exchange that allows you to exchange or donate your kids’ used costumes for different ones or provide a costume for a Rosemount child in need. How it works: Tickets will be handed out for each donated costume. One costume entitles the donor to one ticket, which can then be used to get a different costume at the exchange. Costume Drop Off: Drop off your clean children’s costumes to the Parks and Recreation Office in the lower level of the Community Center (13885 South Robert Trail), Monday – Friday between 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. from now through Friday, Oct. 7. Costume Pick Up: Pick up a different costume Tuesday, Oct. 11 or Thursday, Oct. 13 between 5:30-8 p.m. at the Steeple Center (14375 South Robert Trail - former St. Joseph’s Church). Questions – Contact Rosemount Parks and Recreation at 651-322-6000. 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm URL: www.ci.rosemount.mn.us/parks Address: Rosemount Steeple Center - 14375 South Robert Trail, Rosemount 55068 Contact: City of Rosemount, Parks & Recreation Dept. |

“Thank you for making this Halloween a little more green,” expresses Greg Solfanelli, REALTOR® and the chairperson for the event, to the Greater Scranton Region. “Our costume swap in 2010 was a ‘joyful success’ thanks to the support from the community and our sales associates. We collected over 230 costumes during our first swap and gave out over eighty in Green Halloween’s® kick-off year. Those who participated in National Costume Swap Day, across the country, saved a fair amount of money, not to mention, reducing the waste going to our landfills. We’ll be donating about 150 of the remaining costumes to Goodwill, so that other children may get an opportunity to enjoy them this holiday.”
