We all have extra clothes in our closets - gifts from family members with questionable fashion sense, things that no longer match our personal style or stuff that just plain doesn't fit any more. Bring your gently used clothing items down and swap them for awesome new stuff that you'll actually wear!
Swapping is also a great way to reduce your impact on the environment!
The swap will last from 12:00 - 2:00. Only two hours!!! Come early for best selection and maximum fun!
Admission is by donation - there is some cost associated with using the space and a donation box will be available for participants to contribute to covering this cost.
How it works:
- Come to Fort Rouge Leisure Center for 12:00PM
- Each person lays out their clothes, and everyone goes from pile to pile check it out and taking what they want. This is not a one-to-one swap - everything laid out is considered up for grabs so please ensure it is things you are truly willing to part with.
- The general feel is a friendly first-come first-serve. Should two people want the exact item of clothing at the exact same time, disputes can be settled by a friendly match of rock paper scissors.
- Ensure clothes that you bring are gently used and in good, wearable condition. You might not want to wear them any more, but please only bring things that someone else would want to wear - ripped, stained, etc clothing should be left at home.
- Come early for best selection!
- Anything left behind will be donated
Please, invite your friends and family, and encourage them to invite THEIR friends! The more people, the more selection, and the more awesome stuff you can go home with. Spread the word, and SWAP, not shop!
