Macaroni Kid Cedar Rapids to Host 3rd Annual Costume Swap

In Cedar Rapids, Iowa on October 5th, 2013 10AM-12PM at The Eastern Iowa Sports Complex at 1100 N. 18th Avenue,  Hiawatha.   Swapping one Halloween costume for another will not only help people get rid of unwanted outfits but also keep those items out of our landfill.  This eco-friendly program is based on the concept of "reduce, reuse, recycle” and is a healthier alternative to throwing away a costume. Many people discard their old outfits or buy new ones, but they can save money by participating in the swap.  Last year we had 120 swappers participate and are hoping for more this year.

Costume Swap ~ Go Hallo-green!

Bring in your gently used and clean costume on October 4th at the Eastern Iowa Sports Complex5PM-7PM and receive a ticket to get a “new to them” costume on Saturday October 5th from 10-12PM during our Merry Not Scary Family Fun Day Event.  Free admission, bounce house, pumpkin patch, trick or treating and more.  You can find more information about costume swap and Merry not Scary Family Fun Day Event at www.cedarrapids.macaronikid.com.
