Winners of 2020 Scarecrow Contest named

FALLBROOK – Fallbrook's visiting witch came back this year after a run in with a light pole from last year. She came in from a different direction in order to avoid the pole but to no avail! She can be

seen with her witch friends, along with many other scarecrows, on the streets of Fallbrook, at businesses and at residences.

Judging has been done and the winners have been selected – one winner from each of the nine categories.

Social distancing did not deter the ScareCREW volunteers from accomplishing it's goal to stimulate business and promote tourism to make Fallbrook a special destination. In switching from in person workshops to virtual Zoom meetings, the best way to execute Fallbrook Scarecrow Days was determined.

Updating old and building new scarecrows was done at home. Instructions and information for those building scarecrows was provided on the Fallbrook Chamber Of Commerce website.

New this year is the Scarecrow Fall Fun Kids Zone. It is accessible on the chamber's website under Events/Scarecrow Days/ Kids Corner at http://www.fallbrookchamberofcommerce.org. A fall-themed or scarecrow activity, craft and kid-appropriate recipe has been posted every two weeks through Oct. 31.

The highlights are the 'write a letter to Mr. and Mrs. Scarecrow' and in return will receive a letter back including a surprise. The letters were to be dropped in the scarecrow mail box at the chamber office or mailed to their address.

The coloring contest for ages 3-6 and 6-12 will have a winner in each division with a prize and picture in paper. Details and printouts are on the chamber's website. Winners will be announced Nov. 1.

The ScareCREW appreciates all the support of the businesses, residents, nonprofit groups, Bonsall and Fallbrook chambers of commerce who joined in on Fallbrook Scarecrow Days.

It is a venture of a fantastic group of people who work together to benefit the business community and the enjoyment of all. Hopefully the goal was met.

All the scarecrows are awesome; Fallbrook made it happen!
