    • HUMOROUS: These scarecrows should be humorous looking.  Cartoon figures, crazy characters, and soft sculptures.​
  4. SCARECROW SPECIFICATIONS
    1. SET-UP: A metal stake will be provided for each scarecrow if needed.  The builder of the scarecrow must provide material for securing the scarecrow to the stake.
    2. MATERIALS: As all scarecrow entries must remain on display out-of-doors and may be subject to bad weather, their construction should be durable.
    3. ELECTRICITY: As no electricity is available for scarecrows, you must provide your own power source (no power generators, please).
