You don’t need to be a good artist or a carpenter to make a great scarecrow; you just need some imagination and a willingness to have fun!

Visitors to the Fair will be able to view and vote for their favorite entries from 11 – 3 pm.

There are 4 categories to enter:

till the last hour before starting. Winning entries could come from all three work styles!

For ideas, just Google Scarecrows on the Internet or check out www.makescarecrows.com. SCARECROW CONTEST INFORMATION & RULES • Entries should be 4 – 7 ft tall and must fit in a 6 x 6 foot area • Please prepare a sign to identify the name of your scarecrow and the name of your business, organization, family etc and
