Scarecrow Building Contest

Everyone is invited to come build their own scarecrow and enter the finished creation in Rype & Readi Downtown Farm Market’s Scarecrow Building Contest.

Please Note: This event is from 2018

Rype & Readi Downtown Farm Market is hosting an exciting fall activity in 2018, offering scarecrow building sessions at the Downtown Market on Saturdays and Sundays from September 22 through October 14, 2018.

Reservations are required to attend the building sessions, which will take place from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on these dates: September 22, 23, 29 and 30 and October 6, 7, 13 and 14, 2018. Rype & Readi will provide a pole, clothes and straw, and tools and fasteners for participants to embellish with their own add-ons to create their very own scarecrow for a fee of $10.00.

This is a wonderful opportunity for civic organizations, school groups, sport teams, and anyone who'd like to flex their creative talents. The finished scarecrows will be on display at the Downtown Farm Market until November 1, 2018.
