Scarecrows are a part of our folklore. From earliest times, people have been creating scary creatures in their own images to protect their crops and gardens.

INVITATION: You are invited to submit a scarecrow for competition. Contest is open to any group, family, or individual regardless of age. Here is the chance for you, your class or youth group to create a scarecrow and compete for prizes, at the same time displaying your talents while delighting passersby along Seventh Avenue in Downtown North St. Paul. Your creative talents will be appreciated and recognized.

SUGGESTED THEMES: This is a task for your creative imagination. You can make a traditional scarecrow, or get funky and fun.

CONSTRUCTION: Entrants are responsible for bringing and installing their scarecrows. Each scarecrow must have a vertical support of wood for the body which will be wired to attach to a support for display. For best results, build your scarecrow so that it can withstand rain or wind. Straw will be available to complete stuffing. If you would like, the name of the entrant may be advertised as part of the scarecrow display. Select and post a name for your scarecrow that characterizes the theme and identifies its uniqueness.
