Scarecrow Harvest

SCARECROW HARVEST EVENT on Sat, October 5 from 10am - 2pm is a thank-you event to the students and community for creating scarecrows. FREE family merriment includes groovy country music, games of crow-cornhole, hay rides to the log cabin, quirky face painting, historical demos, artsy activities, stimulating story-telling, and engaging inflatables.

At 12pm, SCARECROW AWARDS and prizes will be given to Accredited K-5 Schools classrooms for Most Creative, Best Constructed, Best Personality, “Go Green” Crow and SchCOOLEST (school with the most participating classrooms) Scarecrows.

Barbecue sandwiches, hot dogs and more from Smokejack, A Southern Grill, and fall treats such as caramel apples will be offered.
