It's time for the nineth annual Otsiningo Park Scarecrow Contest, which runs this year from October 1 to October 23.
Per Broome County government, "Individuals, families, businesses, clubs, groups, and organizations are encouraged to create a friendly scarecrow to display at Otsiningo Park and for a chance to win prizes. Entry is FREE of charge.
The public is invited to vote for their favorite of the almost 40 entries.
More and more, it seems non profits are the main participants and it's a good way to get their message out.
Like this one, for example, number seven, from ACHIEVE, a non profit that serves those with intellectual and developmental disabilities. I have a feeling this one is in the running for winner. We'll see!
Did you have a favorite? If not, no worries, as I'll have more entries in the coming days.

Fun! It doesn't seem like a year has passed since we last saw the scarecrows! I like the more traditional, however that last is so scary looking, even for a scarecrow! Like from a slasher movie. Maybe it is, I don't watch them!
ReplyDeleteFun and interesting moments. A lot of creativity to do such creations. Thank you for sharing these type of activities.
ReplyDeleteHappy WW and a fine week!❤️😘
Such creativity. You'll have to let us know who does win.
ReplyDeleteThe Otsiningo Park Scarecrow Contest sounds like a fantastic event! It’s great to see nonprofits getting involved and raising awareness in such a creative way. I can’t wait to see which scarecrows stand out this year!
