This celebration includes live music, food trucks, face painting, free games, and for the first time this year, adult beverages will be available for onsite purchases.

Voting will be open until October 26th.

Hosted by the Tolland Permanent Celebration Committee (PCC), the annual scarecrow contest is a highly anticipated kick-off for the town’s fall festival. For its third year, Tolland residents, businesses, and community organizations are once again showcasing their creativity while competing for first, second, third, and “most creative” prizes.
