Troop leader Tracy Welch says the Girl Scout troop has organized the event as a public service project that they hope will become an annual community tradition. Of course, for the exchange to work, costume donations are needed, so gather up your unwanted Halloween costumes and accessories like hats, boots, swords and masks. If you have costumes to donate, you can bring them with you on Monday the 8th but it’s not required. Costumes can also be dropped off this week in the Jackson Elementary school lobby or at Different Philosophies Salon at 246 French Bar Road. For more information, call Tracy Welch at 223-3868… And have a howling good time on Halloween!
