Thank you to Lanny, the Scarecrow Committee, and all the volunteers who made this year's contest amazing!
Check back later for the results of the contest and pictures. If you are interested in chairing or volunteering for this event next year, please fill out form below. Jessie Beck's 35th Annual Sensational Scarecrow Contest is just around the corner! For those new to Jessie Beck, this is a long-standing tradition, fun for the whole family as well as the community. Students, families and other schools are invited to make scarecrows that are judged for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place cash prizes. Jessie Beck classrooms compete for traveling trophies. The event also includes carnival games, raffle, food, soft drinks, cotton candy, sno cones, popcorn, pies, photo booth, Yossen's Fire on the Mountain Pizza Truck, and of course, Jessie Beck's famous pumpkin-shaped cookies. Cuddles the Clown will be making free balloon shapes for the kids. Scarecrows are on display from 1:00-5:30pm. We hope you will consider designing and building a scarecrow as an individual group or family project for our 35th event. Who knows, your scarecrow might be the winner of a cash prize!
