This contest is open to any individual or family:

Scarecrows are to be actual 3D scarecrows using found/recycled materials and a T-frame.

Scarecrows will be attached to outdoor poles down Main St, so please use sturdy materials.

Scarecrows can be frightening or fun, but please keep your creations tasteful & family appropriate.
