The Ellington Historical Society will once again provide everything children need to make their own scarecrow, one of our most popular Fall Festival traditions. Additional activities will include a chance to visit a monster truck, explore the museum, and enjoy a morning filled with family-friendly fun.
There is no fee to participate—the goal is simply to bring together community organizations and businesses to create a fun and engaging experience for children and families.
