NEPA's First Annual Hallogreen Costume Swap (Part #1)

Relive The Celebration: National Costume Swap Day with Green Halloween® and Coldwell Banker Town & Country Properties: These eight segments on WNEP TV and "Leckey Live" showcased the first ever organized Halloween costume swap in Northeastern Pennsylvania, happening during Green Halloween's kick-off year (2010)!

We truly appreciate the dedication of our volunteers, the community at large who participated and spread the word, Ryan Leckey/WNEP, our contributors and everyone who helped to make this event very successful. We'll call it a success because of the estimated $2,000 saved by families in our region who found roughly eighty costumes on Saturday, October 9, 2010 (estimating a value of $25/costume). You can spend at least $30-$40 on a costume in stores nowadays. We'll call it a success because of the 234 costumes we collected (150 was our goal). We'll call it that because of the estimated 150 costumes that we donated to the new Goodwill store in the Keyser Oak Shopping Center, Scranton, PA - countless families who maybe wouldn't be able to afford a costume for their children this Halloween now might be able to through all of YOUR EFFORTS! We'll call it a success because of free positive PR and promotion we received through WNEP TV and Ryan Leckey in getting the message out there about the swap and Green Halloween®.

We attempted to make Halloween in 2010 a little more economical and a little more eco-friendly.

Thank you!
