Apologies for the delay in publishing this week - but we were waiting on the green light for a very exciting event that we've been organizing and it just came through this morning! So hot off the presses - mark your calendars for the Macaroni Kid Costume Swap, next Sunday, October 2nd at the Bethel Public Library! Before you run out and buy that brand new Halloween costume, dig through your gently-used ones and consider swapping it at our event to get a new-to-you one! All of the details for this event including how to participate and where to drop off your costume for the Swap can be found here. Also, 100% of the proceeds from the sale of the costumes/accessories that aren't taken will be donated to the Bethel Children's Library. SO exciting, right?
