It’s that time of year. The last remainder of the garden is being harvested. The Scarecrows have done their job all summer, now it’s time for them to visit businesses and public locations around the county. The Patrick County Chamber of Commerce is encouraging all local businesses, organizations, homeowners and churches to decorate a scarecrow or monster for display. Tailor the theme to your business, your favorite movie character or just create a good old-fashioned scarecrow or monster.
To be entered into the contest, create your display and fill out the online form by October 7. After that date, pictures of your creation will be taken and posted online for voting, which also will be done through an online form and that will run through October 31.
Scarecrows must be visible from the road. If your business or organization does not have roadside frontage, call the chamber and the staff there will work to locate a spot for you.
Entry forms are available online at the chamber’s website, www.patrickchamber.com. For more information, call the chamber office at (276) 694-6012.
