Each week, Norwood Patch is publishing "Patch Picks" - a column that highlights editor and reader picks of great local businesses, destinations, services, organizations, ways to spend a day off, and more. 

This weekly feature provides lists to help you, your family, friends, and significant others find the best places for everything from Sunday brunch to New Year’s Eve celebrations, pumpkin patches, date night destinations, florists, girlfriend nights out, kids party places, parks and more.

We're almost halfway through October already, and this week we want you to tell us where you shop locally for Halloween costumes. Do you head straight for the full costume shops or pick up bits and pieces at the Salvation Army Store and Walmart?
