Scarecrow Festival 

There's nothing quite like the annual Scarecrow Festival held from October 10th - 15th in the Ashton Gardens! You'll have the opportunity to create your scarecrow with your friends and family. Once you're done, you can vote for your favorite scarecrows made by others. Prizes will be awarded to the top three scarecrows in the judges and people's choice division. 

If you choose not to participate in building a scarecrow, there will still be plenty to do at the festival! Vendors will be there with Fall treats and other activities for your family to enjoy.
