The fun starts before Halloween! Throughout October, downtown comes alive with spooky and silly scarecrow displays crafted by local businesses. Stroll the square, pick your favorites, and soak up the festive spirit leading up to the big night.
To vote, simply scan the QR code on one of the voting signs located at each corner of the square, then select the number of your favorite. The top three earn prizes (and bragging rights!)
All 2025 Spots Have Been Reserved! Registrants have been sent an email with their assigned location around the square. (Where’s my spot?)
