LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) — The city of Lexington is hosting a Halloween costume giveaway from 6-7:30 p.m. Wednesday, October 19 at Dunbar Community Center.
The event is free and put on by Caring Costumes. The charitable organization provides gently-used costumes to children who might not otherwise have the ability to participate in Halloween activities.
Costumes are available while they last.
Another Halloween event happening Wednesday is a Yappy Hour "Howloween" Party from 5-7 p.m. at Jacobson Park.
There will be a pay-what-you-like costume contest (a $5 donation is suggested) with winners in several categories such as "Greatest DIY" and "Best Overall."
Donations benefit Friends of the Dog Parks.
