Northwest Park Country Fair Scarecrow Contests

Put on your thinking cap and get creative. It’s time to start designing your scarecrow and collecting your supplies for the Northwest Park Country Fair Scarecrow contests. The Friends of Northwest Park have been planning for months. Now it’s your turn to get to work.

Businesses are invited to compete
for ribbons and bragging rights in the Windsor Business Scarecrow Competition.
Build your scarecrow and display it at your business prior to the fair. The
entry fee is just $35.00 and all contest revenue will be placed in a prize pool
and awarded to the charity of the winners’ choice. Winners will be chosen by
Fair visitors who will each receive a ticket to vote for their favorite
scarecrow. Please contact Debby Reiner at 860-977-0277 for specific contest
rules and to register as a participant.

Families and Individuals may try
their hand at winning a Blue Ribbon by participating in the Family &
Individual Scarecrow Contest. Each entry must be made and assembled entirely by
the participant(s) at the park on the day of the fair.

Children may participate in the Mini-Scarecrow Contest. Building supplies and assistance will be provided to help youngsters make a scarecrow that can be taken home for display. Scarecrows will be judged and ribbons and prizes will be awarded.

More information about these specific contests may be viewed on pages 33 & 34 of the 2015 (last year’s) Fair booklet which can be found online under “Friend’s Events” at www.northwestpark.org . We hope to see you at the Fair on Saturday, September 17
