Halloween dress-up can pricey.

Now with help from Coldwell Banker Town and Country Properties you'll never again have to pay top dollar for a costume.

Hosts to the second-annual "Green Halloween Costume Swap" event here in Northeastern Pennsylvania, Coldwell Banker Town and Country Properties are offering a solution that will benefit the environment and the wallets of area families.

“Last year, because of the support from the community and our associates, Halloween was a little greener,” thankfully expresses Greg Solfanelli, Realtor and chairperson for the event, for the Greater Scranton Region.  “Our costume swap was a ‘joyful success.’  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 cash, not to mention, reducing the waste going into our landfills.  We also donated 150 of those remaining to Goodwill, so other children received an opportunity to enjoy them as well.”

Like last year, the purpose of this children’s costume swap  is to make Halloween healthier for kids and more sustainable for our planet.  This event is community-based and is meant to celebrate the true spirit of the Halloween season.  

Parents of children ages 16 and under wishing to participate are invited to drop off clean costumes in good condition through October 7, the day before the swap, at any one of the companies three locations:

•  651 Northern Boulevard, Clarks Summit, PA 18411 
•  1250 Church Street, Moscow, PA 18444 
•  130 Main Street, Blakely, PA 18447

Those donating costumes will receive a token to be redeemed for another costume on the day of the event and will be asked to return to retrieve a costume on October 8 from 10 am and 3 pm.
