The Halloween Costume Swap will be on October 14th from 10am - 1pm at Englewood Elementary School. The event will be held at the main entrance of the school near the corner of 19th & Nebraska Street.
In addition to free costumes, we will also have face painting, clothes mending lessons and a coffee cart! You will not want to miss out on this fantastic community event.
Things to know:
