ScareCREW announces new themes for the 10th annual Scarecrow Days

FALLBROOK – Skipping down the yellow brick road, the ScareCREW is busily preparing for Fallbrook Scarecrow Days Oct. 1-31. In anticipation of the 10 year anniversary of displaying scarecrows, “The Wizard of Oz” along with “Ring Around The Rosie” are new themes created in celebration.

The ever present Tin Woodman on the Ace Hardware roof will have Scarecrow, Dorothy, Toto, good witch Glinda, Wicked Witch of the North, the Cowardly Lion and others accompany him on the yellow brick road to a location to be determined for “The Wizard Of Oz.”

“Ring Around the Rosie” will have kid-oriented scarecrows in funky outfits depicting the fun game. Watch for more details as they develop.

The popular Pumpkin heads and the field of Silent People will make an appearance again this year. The community can also look forward to seeing more scarecrows along South and East Mission.

Volunteers are welcome, as are any suggestions or ideas for a better Scarecrow Days event. The many facets of planning and executing this event need people of different talents. The workshop meets at 300 N. Brandon, Unit 8. Contact [email protected] for more information.

The business and residential communities came together in spirit amid COVID-19 to make Fallbrook Scarecrow Days a success last year. There were close to 130 scarecrows displayed throughout the community. The ScareCREW hopes to display 200 this year! Together, everyone can make Fallbrook a fall destination for Scarecrow Days and the Harvest Faire.
