HACKBERRY SCARECROW CONTEST!
SIGN UP NOW!
| |
ONCE YOU SIGN UP COME TO THE OFFICE FOR YOUR YELLOW ENTRY FORM TO ATTACH TO YOUR SCARECROW DISPLAY | |
|
Registrations Accepted September 14th through October 14th
The temperatures have fallen indicating that autumn is on the way which means everyone’s favorite fall tradition, the annual Hackberry Creek Scarecrow Contest, is just around the corner!
Families, kids of all ages, groups of friends, school and church groups, and Scout troops are all invited to build a scarecrow to display in their yards during the month of October. It was a HUGE success last year with a record number of entries, and we are excited to see the creativity of our residents again this year.
As we do annually, the scarecrows will be judged by an independent group of judges and the winners in each category will receive a ribbon and will be displayed at the annual HACKBERRY CREEK HALLOWEEN FESTIVAL and will be featured in the Hackberry Creek Living Magazine as well on our social media pages. We will have some new categories and a new method for online entry.
Your scarecrow should be put on display in your yard beginning on October 1st, but no later than October 24th. Scarecrows will be on display through Monday, November 7, 2022.
Judges will select the most outstanding scarecrows in each category week of October 24th thru October 26th.
For full details about the Scarecrow Festival come to the September Board Meeting and to read more and register, follow the link below!
