Halloween just isn鈥檛 the same without a great costume. Every year, millions of people don creative, scary, and incredible getups to celebrate the October event. Unfortunately, many costumes鈥 high price tags put themselves out of some people鈥檚 budgets. The Boys and Girls Club of Yorkton (BGCY) is making sure everyone has something memorable to wear for Oct. 31.
BGCY is running its Halloween Swap and Shop for the third year in聽 a row. The shop opens today (Oct. 10) and it鈥檚 operational during the club鈥檚 regular hours.
鈥淚t鈥檚 grown every year,鈥 said Erin Roussin, Program Manager with BGCY.
The shop hosts a wide assortment of donated costumes. Visitors can fill their bags with the most eye-catching pieces, assembling the perfect Halloween disguise.
鈥淎nybody can come in,鈥 Roussin said. 鈥淐ome in, shop, and take what you like.鈥
The shop started as a way to give people a cheaper alternative to expensive costume shopping. It also has an environmental angle.
鈥淲e thought it was a great way to recycle,鈥 Roussin said.
The shop is filled with hundreds of costumes of all styles.
鈥淲e have a really wide selection,鈥 Roussin said.
The shop will be open until Halloween. The BGCY is located at 54 C Smith Street West.
