Costume Exchange Details:

Bring costumes (size newborn - 13 years) in between 4:00 - 4:45 pm SHARP & enjoy a FREE Chick-fil-A Kids Meal with each paid adult combo meal purchase.

Costumes must be clean, on a hanger and identify the size - if there are accessories, please put them in a bag, attached to the costume.

Receive a voucher (up to 4 total) for each costume and pick another costume between 5:00-6:00 pm sharp.

If you do not have a costume to exchange, you may purchase one for a flat fee of $8.00 per costume.

People who just wish to purchase costumes may do so at 7:00 pm. People exchanging will be given first priority.

Once you have donated your costume and received your voucher(s), there will not be any refunds. Limit of 4 vouchers.

If costume is NOT in good condition, you are invited to donate it but you will need to pay the flat fee to participate in the exchange.

Children are encouraged to attend but we do ask that everyone show respect for both the costumes and Chick-fil-A. Due to time constraints, children will not be allowed to try on the costumes.

If you cannot find a replacement costume - it will be considered a wonderful donation.
Extra costumes will be donated to local charities.
You will receive 1 RAFFLE TICKET for participating or donating a costume.

They are opening one up in Rancho Cucamonga across from the Ontario Mills Mall on October 20th. I can't wait to see what all the fuss is about. I hear the prices are very good too.

scrapbooking supplies

If you would like to sell something there is no charge but you will need to have your items at my home that morning. I think this will be a fun way to make some extra money as well as to get a few gifts. It will be set up as an open house so that people can come and go as they choose. Please tell as many people as you know I am hoping to make this a yearly tradition.

{true or false?}

There is a rumor going around that In-N-Out will be selling their menu items for the same price as they did the day they opened 60 years ago. October 22nd is their 60th anniversary and it says that Cheeseburgers $ .30, Hamburgers $ .20, fries $ .15 and drinks $ .10.

I did some research and this is what I found.

"Having received conflicting answers from In-N-Out corporate representatives and various individual stores, we can't yet say whether this offer is genuine. At this point, it appears In-N-Out will be having some kind of special offering related to a 60th anniversary promotion, but it's not clear what that offering will be, or whether it will be uniformly available at all In-N-Out outlets."

My feeling is that they are going to do it but they don't want people to know until the day of. But we will see. If anyone hears anything different let me know.
