THE GREAT SCARECROW HAPPENING

Join in the spirit! Let your imagination run wild and create a scarecrow for our community’s fifth annual scarecrow contest.  Come to Halloween in the Park and discover how creative your neighbors can be!  While prizes will be awarded, the real winning is in the “spirit of participation”. Businesses can use scarecrows to highlight their particular business, drawing on the theme of the business for their creative inspiration. Community groups can promote their particular organizations. Individuals and families can captivate the community with their original creations. After Halloween in the Park, place your entry in your yard to celebrate the fall season.

ENTRY CATEGORIES:
