Five More Days to Vote for Your Favorite Scarecrow

Downtown businesses are in the Halloween spirit this week month with imaginative and lively scarecrows adorning many store windows as part of the Downtown Concord Scarecrow contest, according to the Todos Sntos Busines Association. This year’s theme is “Saluting Bay Area Baseball.”

Customers can vote for their favorite scarecrows through Oct. 28. The winner of the contest will be announced at the city's annual Halloween parade and costume contest Sunday, Oct. 30, at Todos Santos Plaza.
