SAN BERNARDINO >> Sixty years of year-round sales of costumes and accessories will end this year, owners of local costume shop Fun Corner announced Wednesday.

The owners said on Facebook that they would begin “blow-out sales” Nov. 1 and will close Nov. 27.

“Time has now come for us and FUN CORNER to retire,” owners Steve and Linda Sutherland said in their post. “So, with many mixed emotions, we announce that this 60th Halloween will be the last for the FUN CORNER.”

The Sutherlands bought the store in 1984, after decades on Base Line at D Street — originally, right at the corner.

Retiring was the right choice for the family, but a loss for the community, said Judi Penman, president and CEO of the San Bernardino Area Chamber of Commerce.

“Fun Corner did much more than Halloween costumes,” she said. “Party planning, they did makeup, they sold costumes all year-round, and Steve had all kinds of talent. He taught classes in (costume) make-up.”

It will also be a civic loss, Penman said.

“Linda was president of the Base Line Business Association for years and years,” she said. “We’re not just losing a business that’s been there for a gazillion years. We’re losing people that have been committed to this community.”

The owners couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.
