You can take your finished scarecrow home OR enter it in the Farm’s annual “People’s Choice” scarecrow contest. If you leave your scarecrow for the competition, you may pick it up on Sunday at 3pm.

There’s a special category of “Oregon History” scarecrows this year. Make a scarecrow that represents a character from Oregon History and enter it in the “Director’s Feature Award” contest. Choose a historical character and dress your scarecrow in appropriate clothing. You’ll need to bring your own outfits and accessories for this contest. Special prizes will be awarded for these special scarecrows!
