Goodwill's DIY Halloween Costume Contest

Let’s skip the scary and concentrate on the fun this Halloween. You can still decorate your stoop, jazz up your windows and break out the candy and treats…even though it might just be you and your kids this year.

Read on for some great tips and tricks and head to your nearest Goodwill Store & Donation Center to get started!
