Boo for Halloween Continued

Wednesday, I blogged about Broome County, New York's annual fall Scarecrow contest in Binghamton's Otsiningo Park. 

Park goers get to vote for their favorites through tomorrow, October 24.  I took a lot of pictures (not of all the entrants - there are over 40 this year, I believe).  Let's see if we can guess who won.


A lot of the entries are non profits or local organizations.

A recycled can and bottle grasshopper scarecrow - I would say, an imaginative entry.

The Pumpkin Spice girls.  Cute.

I think we can all agree we need to spread more kindness.

What's a spiedie, the T-shirts ask.  Here's the answer.
Last one for today.
My Wednesday post, if you want to see more entries.

More next week.

Is there a similar contest where you live?

    Very clever. How do you choose?

      Each entry is numbered (you can see the number on some of the photos.) There are paper ballots at one end of the display with pencils and a ballot box. In other words, old school voting. Results should be in Monday, I think.

    Of these today, I like the traditional ones, with the pumpkins. I love the candy corn nose! My favorite though is the "What's a spiedie?" I like the bats and twigs.

    Halloween is my favorite holiday by far. The weather is still generally good, you don't have to buy anybody anything for anybody, and nobody feels sorry for you if you can't make it home for Halloween. I love the decorations you found.

    Such fun! I’ve never heard of one in our area. I think it would be a great asset!

    I like the title "pumpkin spice girls", but I think the reference is a bit dated.
