LISBON FALLS — Drapeau’s Costumes of Maine, the state’s largest full-service costume rental and retail shop, is celebrating its 55th Halloween season.

Drapeau’s costumes was originally started by Mrs. Drapeau in 1956 in her home and a small attached storefront on Main Street, later moving to Maple Street in Lewiston.

In 1972, Doris Martin purchased the business, kept the name and started collecting the vintage clothing collection for use in the theaters.

The third owner was Venise Berube in 1986. She increased the size of the collection from 1,800 to about 3,500, making Drapeau’s Costumes the largest costume rental shop in Maine.

The current owner is Kristine Scribner Cornish, a Lewiston native, Lewiston High School and UMO graduate, who returned from working out-of-state to purchase Drapeau’s.

Drapeau’s Costumes is at 20 Main St., Lisbon Falls. For more information, go to: www.costumesofmaine.com; call 353-2216; or email  [email protected].
