COSTUME SHOPS

These companies provide a variety of costume and prop needs, ranging from inexpensive novelties to elaborate period wear. Costumes may be available for rental or purchase. Remember your church's tax-exempt number.

* Some shops may have sections that are risqué or adult oriented that patrons may find offensive. Leave children at home the first time. Parental discretion advised.
