Are you looking for a fun fall activity for your family? Your friends? Your neighborhood? Your organization? Your business?

The Friends of the Library and the San Juan Island Chamber of Commerce are sponsoring a scarecrow contest for the month of October. Registration is open from Oct. 1-15 (free). The scarecrows will be displayed from Oct. 17-31 around Friday Harbor. If you don’t have a place to put your entry please call the Scarecrow Hotline 360-378-5240 and we will help you find a spot!

Be creative! Scarecrows can be in many forms: Traditional, animals, Halloween characters, famous people, movie or TV themes, storybook characters. Use your imagination and have some fun! And no political entries, please!

Community judging will take place Oct. 17-31. Be sure and stop by and see the scarecrows and pick your favorite.

We hope you will celebrate fall and participate in this first Scarecrow Contest.
