Day of Heroes Costume Swap

The spread of Halloween pollution has already started. Go online and Google Halloween costumes and you'll find no less than 10 pages of new articles all about where to buy this year's hottest costume. These costumes will rarely make it back into their closets for next year. Instead they will be thrown away with the rest of the tons of Halloween textile and plastics that overload landfills and pollute the environment.

 Join Mar Vista Community CouncilMar Vista Farmers Market and Los Angeles Costume Swap on September 18, 2011 at Mar Vista Farmers Market from 9 am to 2 pm for a day of Heroes. This will be the official start to letting your kids – and the kid in you – have a little fun by dressing up as your favorite kind of hero: be it a doctor, policewoman, Eco-Warrior, Wonder Woman or a Steampunk Captain. 

All visitors on the Sept. 18th will get a FREE sample of Glee Gum.
