Halloween has become a holiday filled with traditions that are unhealthy for our children and our planet. We owe it to ourselves and future generations to serve as role models. Participating in a costume swap not only encourages celebrating in a way that is healthier and more earth-conscience, but it also empowers our children to think about how small changes can have a big impact. All while still having fun!
Anytime between now and October 3rd, participants are encouraged to drop off swap-able costumes during business hours at one of these locations:
- Small Threads for Kids | 1480 NW Gilman Blvd # 3 | Issaquah
- CleanScapes Store in Gilman Village | 317 NW Gilman Blvd, #22 | Issaquah
In exchange for costume(s) you will be given a Swap Ticket to be brought back for the event on October 4th from 8:00 am to 9:30 am at Small Threads for Kids.
Yes, this is a the same day as the Salmon Days Parade, but you'll be done swapping before the parade even starts! Plus Small Threads is conveniently located near two of the shuttle stops, so plan to swap, shop, and then hop a ride to the big parade!
If you’re a little reluctant to give swapping a try, local businesses are providing great incentives. In addition to swapping, you can also shop with 20% discount off purchases at Small Threads and get a discount on childcare before noon at Adventure Kids Playcare. To make sure you get to the swap on time, AKP is opening early at 7:00 am. If you're new to AKP, be sure you've filled out 1st Visit Forms. Both offers are only valid during the event on October 4th.
