Storybook Scarecrow Competition

When
Where
Lester Public Library of Rome

Build a scarecrow as part of the second annual Scarecrow Walk!

What is a Scarecrow Walk?

  • The Scarecrow Walk is an outdoor event throughout the month of October (10/14-11/03) on the trails behind the Lester Public Library of Rome.
  • Businesses, organizations, families, and individuals are invited to build a scarecrow to place along the trail.
  • To encourage some Halloween fun (and friendly competition), library visitors will be able to vote for their favorite storybook scarecrow. There will be prizes for 1st-3rd place.

Competition Details

  • You will be in charge of creating/building your scarecrow to display. There will be a numbered stake/fence post provided by the library to put your scarecrow by/lean against if you so choose. If your scarecrow can sit/stand on its own, just have it near the stake/post.
  • This year's theme is "Storybook". All entries should fit the theme, but feel free to be creative!
  • Make sure your scarecrow is “weather-friendly;” they will be outside for a large portion of October so no items that will blow away/melt with rain.
  • Please keep your scarecrow “family-friendly”; we want this to be a fun experience for everyone.
  • Your scarecrow should be up by OCTOBER 13TH and removed on/by NOVEMBER 4TH.

Scarecrow Voting

  • Voting will take place during library hours, though you can view the scarecrows at any time.
  • You will get one “free” vote for your favorite scarecrow, but can gain an additional vote by donating items to the Adams County Food Pantry (drop off in the library).

Prizes

  • Cash prizes for 1st-3rd place!
  • All participants will receive a "Certificate of Participation"

Please sign up by OCTOBER 8TH to reserve your spot.
