ENTER THE 3RD ANNUAL SCARECROW ALLEY DISPLAY CONTEST!
It’s time, again, for Scarecrow Alley!
October is one of our busiest months here at Paradise Acres, and we’re partnering with local groups, businesses, and families to create a festive fall atmosphere for the thousands of guests who will visit our farm.
In addition to the Pumpkin Patch & Pumpkin Shed, Firepits with S’mores, and Hayrides, we’re hosting a Scarecrow Display Contest to make for one of the region’s top autumn attractions.
Scarecrows will be on prominent display in our high foot traffic areas, ensuring your creativity (and organization name) get a lot of visibility.
CATEGORIES & PRIZES
We’ll have 4 categories this year and each category will have a winner.
- Families
- Schools
- Churches/Non-Profits
- Businesses
Guests will receive a single ticket to vote for their favorite display while on the Farm. The winning display from each category will receive a $300 credit to be used for an outing here at Paradise Acres in 2025!
THE RULES
- Be creative.
- Think outside the box.
- One scarecrow or a big display … it’s up to you!
- Have FUN.
- Keep it clean (PG rated for our young community members). Nothing gory or overly scary.
- The theme of your display can be related to your group/business/family or can be a completely unrelated creative theme. You should plan to put up signage promoting your business/group either way!
- Your display must be wind, water & wild weather resistant.
- Your display can certainly be patriotic but not overtly political or a politically divisive theme. (We want this to be fun for everyone!)
- Your display must be handmade (not purchased, rented or borrowed).
- Items such as tiki torches, candles, gas, generators or open flames are not permitted.
- We reserve the right to reject a display for any reason, especially if it is in any way controversial.
