What in the world is a clothes swap? Well they are totally FREE events, with NO obligation to bring anything or take anything. It's called a "swap" because so many people bring clothes they no longer need, and take what they DO want. These "swaps" have gotten popular in Michigan especially Oakland County. They have caught on in Macomb County too now. Holly is the original swap and there are swaps in Lake Orion, Orchard Lake & Sterling Heights. Here's how it works: At home, sort and fold clean clothes (clothes you wouldn't mind putting on your family to go out in public) by size into boxes or bags. THEN, when you get to the swap, sort the clothes by size onto marked tables. Next comes the fun part. You go to the tables with the size clothes we are looking for and take what you need. Free of charge. No strings attached. There are no minimums or maximums. Some families are looking to clean out the clothes they no longer use and they bring boxes of clo...
