Scarecrows will remain on display until Festival Day Oct 14th ​ The public will vote and prizes will be awarded.
Scarecrows
Building a scarecrow is fairly simple. You will need a frame, clothes, stuffing and accessories.
​YouTube has some videos, a Google search will bring up several instructional sites and there are tons of ideas on Pinterest
​
Need some inspiration?
Think about a scarecrow that represents your Club, Business or Organization, or a scarecrow inspired by your favorite movie, book, singer, or hobby.
Frames: 2x4's, pvc pipe, tomato cages, old broom handles or something similar.
​
Stuffing: Hay, straw, styrofoam, fiber fill, plastic grocery bags, bubble wrap, pool noodles. Newspaper is not a good choice as rains will make it lose its shape and become very heavy.
Heads: Buckets, milk jugs, plant pots, stuffed pillow cases or fabric
