Scarecrows are coming back to Fallbrook

FALLBROOK - Scarecrows will be on parade in full creative scarecrow finery Oct. 1-31. The ScareCREW volunteers have been organizing and planning, designing and creating new scarecrows, and rebuilding and refurbishing the old since February.

Participation of businesses and the community helps achieve the goal of promoting tourism for the betterment of business. Everyone has an opportunity to participate in Scarecrow Days. In community spirit, there will again be a scarecrow contest. New this year, ScareCREW is excited to announce a scarecrow scavenger contest.

Fallbrook favorites will be back with additions. Keep an eye out for new scarecrows in the most unlikely places. Plus, there will be viewing opportunities for all the wonderful scarecrows and scarecrow displays that residents design.

If anyone needs help building a scarecrow, sign up for a scarecrow workshop. Supplies are available if needed. Workshops will be held throughout September. The dates are Sept. 7, 8, 9, 14, 15, 16, 21, 22, 23, 28, 29 and 30. The location for the workshops is 300 N. Brandon St., Unit 6. Register for the workshops at fallbrookchamberofcommerce.org.

It is exciting to welcome back Scarecrow Kids Corner at the Farmers and Artisan Market on Saturdays in September and Oct. 7. There will be scarecrow activities for children and Scarecrow Days information for adults. Children will be able to craft while parents shop.
