The annual Otsiningo Park scarecrow contest is drawing to a close. The voting (and displays) end October 23. Here, for your enjoyment, are several more pictures, mostly from various non-profits.

And one final one that is so sad....
A sad scarecrow I hope I never have to see again is a symbol (to me) of all unsolved murders. 12 year old Aliza Spencer was out for a walk with her family on April 21, 2022 in Binghamton and was killed by one single small caliber bullet. Even the FBI has become involved in the murder investigation but, as of today, no one has been charged.
They were just a block from their house.
The Justice for Aliza scarecrow has become a fixture at this scarecrow festival.
May this murder be solved, may the killer be brought to justice, and may there be a resolution to her grieving family.
Hopefully, I'll have the winning scarecrow to you later this week.
A parent’s worst nightmare. Justice for Aliza
ReplyDeleteAliza's scarecrow is sad, but a necessary reminder of the evil that men do. I hope her murder will be solved.
ReplyDeleteInteresting displays, but sad, indeed, that the murder of that young girl still goes unsolved.
ReplyDeleteOh no, that is a horrible tragedy :(.
ReplyDeleteI do think the scarecrows are cute tho, I quite like Broome County.
