Scarecrow Contest
Crows have been a traditional plague for local farm families.
Can you build the scarecrow that will keep the crows away from the fair this year?
This is the 4th Annual Scarecrow Contest and the Cooperative Extension Service invites all adults and children, nine and older to enter the contest. The scarecrow entries will be placed around the fairgrounds to heighten the festive feeling of the event.
Cash prizes will be awarded to first, second and third place entries in both youth and adult categories. Carolina Farm Credit is furnishing prize money.
Entries should be brought to the fairgrounds on Tuesday, September 16.
Specifications:
- Scarecrows must be made in 2008 by the individual or group entering the contest.
- Only homemade scarecrows are eligible.
- Scarecrows may be sitting (must provide own hay bale, chair or stool) or may be free standing and self-supporting. Scarecrows must be 5-7 feet tall, including frame.
- Scarecrows must be made of non-perishable materials (may be displayed outside.)
