Excitement Grows for Calgary Clothing Swap

It’s the Mother of All Kids Clothing Swaps! Destined to be Calgary’s largest children’s clothing swap, we hope to see over 300 people and over 6,000 quality items up for grabs. 

Bring your gently used items and get new to items in return!

Why Swap?  There are many benefits to clothing swaps:

Saves Money
You can’t beat the price of swapping clothes, whether you pay an admission or attend a free swap; you are receiving excellent value for your money.

Saves Time
Selling your items privately takes a long time. With swapping, your items are gone and you have new ones all in the same day.

Saves The Planet
By recycling clothes, rather than buying new, you are also reducing the amount of pollution going into the environment.

Clears The Clutter
Swapping clothes forces you to clear out the old items in order to get different ones.

Teaches Responsibility
Clothing swaps teach our kids responsibility by showing them how to consume less, re-use and recycle.

Take some time to gather up your child's gently used items and join us at The Mother of All Kids Clothing Swaps! 

THE DETAILS:
What: The Mother of All Kids Clothing Swaps
When: Saturday February 9, 2013
9am – 2pm (Doors Close at 1:30pm)
Where:  Mardaloop Community Association   3130 - 16th Street SW, Calgary T2T 4G7

For every item you bring, you’ll get a ticket to use towards a different item. When it’s all said and done the surplus goods will be donated to the Calgary Pregnancy Care Centre and Women inNeed.  There will also be local businesses and artists showcasing their unique products and services.  You can find out more by visiting us on facebook.

Cost: Tickets are $10 at the door | $8 in advance

PRE-EVENT CLOTHING DROP OFF:
For those swappers that wish to drop-off their clothing in advance and skip the line-ups, clothing can be dropped off at the Strathcona Community Association (277 Strathcona Drive SW) on Sunday February 3 from 2:15pm – 4pm.

  1. Todаy, I went to thе bеaсhfrоnt
    with my kids. I found a sea shell and gaνe it tο my 4 year olԁ daughtеr and saіd "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shеll tο
    her еar and scrеamed. Therе was а hermit сrab inside and it pіnched
    hеr ear. She never wants to go back! LοL I know this is cоmpletely off topic but I had to tell someone!
