FALLBROOK – The ScareCREW volunteers have scarecrows dressed and have secured their locations in business and residential areas for Fallbrook Scarecrow Days Oct. 1-31. Aimed at helping the businesses in town, this month-long event is also lots of fun for local residents.
Gaunt Silent People clothed in flowing garments entice visitors by their eeriness as they march toward Fallbrook from a field at the corner of South Mission and Peppertree Lane. Lanky Pumpkin Heads on Main Avenue give enchanting grins. The Tin man on top of Joe's Hardware waves to cars at the intersection of Main Avenue and Fallbrook Street. Three big black crows greet people coming into town at the south end of Main Avenue. There will be scarecrows of all genres displayed by businesses and residents all over town.
There were no workshops this year due to COVID restrictions, but the ScareCREW team has tutorials and videos on how to create a scarecrow on the Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce's website address below. Click on Events/Scarecrow Days/Instructions. Always ready to help merchants with no time to build their own, but want to join the fun, there are still a few rentals available. See them also on the website.

Scarecrow Fall Fun Days Kids Corner is new this year. A new segment is added every two weeks through October. Each segment contains an activity, recipes that kids can make themselves or with a little help, and a craft.
One activity is to write a letter to Mr. & Mrs. Scarecrow and kids will receive a letter back. Just place a letter with a self-addressed, stamped envelope in the mail box at the chamber's office. Or mail it to: Mr.& Mrs. Scarecrow. c/o Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce, 111 S. Main Ave, Fallbrook CA 92028. Making a cheesecloth ghost and finger puppets are samples of the crafts. More exciting activities are coming such as a coloring contest.
