Costume Ideas

Dawn and team will be sizing your participants for costumes in the coming days. The following website is one that has great examples of styles of clothing you may already have that your child or others might be able to use. I have not read the website, so I don't really know what it is about. I mainly saw the pictures and loved them. Keep in mind that color is not an issue during this stage of the game. The colors on the site are wild, but we'll take anything to try out. I hope this helps and please remember if you do bring pieces to be used, you need to label them with your name and any special directions for cleaning. Thank you for your help-happy clothes hunting!
