FAQ:

What should I bring to the Holiday Stop 'N' Swap?
Bring yourself! Bring family and friends. Definitely bring a tote bag or two for items you want to take home. Examples of items that can be swapped: wrapping paper, cards (especially!), craft supplies such as ribbon, felt, wire, ornament hangers etc, ornaments, garland.

What shouldn't I bring to the Holiday Stop 'N' Swap?
Please use your best judgement and do not bring anything that is dirty, torn or moldy that can not be salvaged. *No fake christmas trees unless they are in good condition.* That said, if you have an item that could be upcycled but you just haven't figured out quite how to do it, bring it. Perhaps it will inspire someone else.
How much does it cost to attend?
Free of charge and all items are available for the taking on a first come, first served basis.
Will I have to wait for people to take my items?No. Arrive and put your items out for others to take. You are free to pick up items that you can use. There is no exchange based on how much or how little you bring, or the relative expense of the items. 
What happens to items leftover after the event?
Anything left at the end of the day will be sorted and recycled or donated for reuse as much as possible.
Can I drop items off before the event?
Items are only accepted during the event. We encourage you to drop off near the start to better ensure your items find a new home and ask that you bring giveaways no later than an hour before the end of the event to ensure time for them to find new homes. In fact, There are plenty of shops and eateries in Beacon that would love your patronage while you wait for the swap to fill up!
