This is such a cool idea for everyone to get involved in the community. Check out these pictures and vote for your favorite, or take a little. You have a little less than two weeks to vote now for your favorite. Participating businesses will have ballots for voting.  Just look for the Scarecrow Walk poster in their window! You have until October 31st to vote.

There are several chances to win. The first is the traditional People’s Choice, where the public votes on their favorite scarecrow. The second will be the Judge’s Choice.  Special Judges will vote on the best scarecrow.  Your scarecrow will automatically be entered into both contests.

Scarecrow judging will be done by the popular vote. Please only vote once.  Ballots are not valid without your name and email address. Remember ballots are available at participating businesses and remember to look for that Scarecrow Walk poster in their window.
