Photos by Ted Coakley III

If you missed the Burning Man boat this year, fret not. Even though the days of festival fun are now a memory, you still have one day coming up when you can play the part. It’s Halloween season, after all! And that means you can dress up as anyone or anything you want to be!

The great news is that you don’t need to waste your money on gas for a Reno-run to a big-box store, or throw your hard-earned cash at billionaire online retailers. There are plenty of costume options available at our local thrift and consignment shops, for kids and adults alike.
