FANWOOD-SCOTCH PLAINS SERVICE LEAGUE HALLOWEEN & “AS IS RACK’ NEWS

The Fanwood-Scotch Plains Service League Thrift Shop located at 1741 East Second Street in Scotch Plains is ready for Halloween! The shop’s annual Halloween costume sale starts on Tuesday, October 7. Racks will be filled with costume choices in a wide range of sizes. Costume accessories like masks, hats, scarves, shoes, gloves and other props will also be available along with some vintage clothing items. Merchandise will be replenished throughout the week. If you are looking for something in particular, shop volunteers will be available to check the stock not yet on display. Also, the shop always has plenty of flannel shirts and jeans at modest prices for dressing up your scarecrows.

In addition to Halloween costumes/accessories, the shop will once again offer its “Great Pumpkin Mystery Discount” for all shoppers from Tuesday, October 28 to Saturday, November 1. Shoppers will complete their orders and then pull a surprise discount ticket from the “Great Pumpkin” to get dollar(s) off their orders. Customers may pull only one surprise discount ticket each day.

The League also announces a new rack that will appear intermittently in the store…the “AS IS RACK.” Are you a seamstress or a master stain remover? Then this rack is for you. Items on this rack will be flawed in some way…perhaps a zipper needs to be replaced or there is a stain. We normally would not put these items out for sale. However, occasionally an item with a minor flaw can be corrected by someone with expertise. These items will be priced at unbelievable prices! Keep an eye out for this rack!
