Admission is FREE! Make a scarecrow to protect your home and gardens from any prowling “witches, ghosties, and ghoulies”—or to add to your fall decor! Scarecrow kits will be available for $20 ($15 for SOHS members) and include everything needed to make a full-size, old-fashioned, straw-stuffed scarecrow. Take your finished scarecrow home OR enter it in the “People's Choice” scarecrow contest and pick it up on Sunday at 3pm. There's also a special category of “Business” and “Retirement Home” scarecrows this year. Companies and organizations can enter a scarecrow that advertises their business or have SOHS volunteers make one for them. Plus there will be loads of free family-fun activities including pumpkin painting, apple bobbing, cider-making, paper quilt square making, children's games, and much more! Take a fall family photo with the big pumpkin. Enjoy a self-guided tour of Hanley Farm's gardens and grounds.
