Scarecrows Around Milford

In 2020 the Milford Lions and Rotary Clubs wanted to do something FUN for our community to help boost morale and community spirit. Our clubs created a “new” community service project – Scarecrows Around Milford. This was a spin on the usual scarecrow making activity at the Community House Lawn during Pumpkin Festival.

The 2020 and 2021 Scarecrows Around Milford decorating contests were smashing successes! So, we are bringing it back again for 2022!

1. 150 scarecrow kits (including the faces, clothes, internal posts, fasteners, patches and instructions) will be available for $10 each to Milford families and local businesses via two drive-through pick-up sessions on September 24 & 25th 10AM to 2PM at a downtown location (TBD). Reservations recommended as this is first come, first served. Families/households and businesses can purchase up to four (4) kits each. As usual, Scarecrow Making will be available at the Pumpkin Festival, but the price at the festival will be $15 for each kit and is not part of the contest.

2. We hope that many of you will join in again to tell “a story” with the scarecrows or craft a creative display to decorate our Hometown!

3. For the contest, everyone should have their scarecrows displayed by Monday 10/3/22 so that location maps can be shared for your viewing pleasure and with our panel of distinguished judges who will view your creations between Monday 10/3 and Saturday 10/8. Prizes will be awarded for "best in show". We hope to get some Facebook Live and other media coverage.

This is a great way to show your community support!
