Local residents are encouraged to create unique displays for the festival. The scarecrow displays that are entered will be judged and the winners  will be awarded prize money. Unfortunately, in 2007 we did not have enough entries in either the Traditional or the Non-Traditional Categories to declare winners. Hopefully, there will be more entries this year. Come on, let's get creative!

Categories and Prizes:



Multiple Scarecrow Themed Displays:  These displays must include at least 4 scarecrows depicting an event or theme. The winner in this  category will be awarded $200!

Traditional:  These displays must include at least 2 scarecrows that resemble ones that have been in fields and gardens for centuries. The
                      creator of the best traditional display will win $100!

Non-Traditional:  These displays must also include at least 2 scarecrows, but made from non-traditional materials such as tin, wire, 
                       hub caps, cans, sticks, bricks, etc. The creator of the best non-traditional display will win $100!

Viewers' Choice:  Again this year, residents and visitors to the area will be given the opportunity to vote for their favourite scarecrow display.
                         The winner of the Viewer's Choice will be awarded $100!
