Participate in a great Woodstown tradition and show your community spirit by entering the Woodstown Fall Festival Scarecrow Competition. All businesses, groups, and individuals are encouraged to decorate a scarecrow that will be displayed throughout Woodstown during the fall season. We have over 100 scarecrow frames for decorating. In past years we have had a waiting list, so don't delay in signing up to participate in this fun activity!

If you would like to decorate a scarecrow for the Woodstown Fall Festival contest, please come to the back of the Woodstown Borough Hall, located on West Avenue, on one of the following dates/times:

• Wednesday, September 1, 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM
• Thursday, September 9, 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM

The frames are approximately six feet tall, so please bring a vehicle that is sized accordingly. The cost for the scarecrow frame rental is $10.00 each and a refundable $10.00 clean up deposit may be paid by cash or check made payable to "Woodstown Fall Festival". All frames and lamppost locations will be given out on a first-come, first-serve basis. If you are unable to pick up your scarecrow frame on these dates, contact Janice Ruge-Johnson at 769-9056 or janruge@verizon.net.
