2023 Scarecrow Lane
Each year we host several community groups - families, schools, businesses, churches, clubs, and community groups.
Each participant must provide a custom made (not commercially made) scarecrow and display that fits in a 3ft. X 6ft. area.
Scarecrows will be judged by the public online via Facebook (likes of each scarecrow’s photos - 1 Like = 1 Vote). Photos will be posted on Marion Downtown! Facebook page. Votes/Likes will be tallied at Noon on Friday, October 27th - no votes/likes will be counted after that. In the event of a tie, the Scarecrow Lane Committee will provide a tiebreaker.
Winners will be announced via Facebook on the Marion Downtown! Facebook page no later than 5 p.m. on Saturday, October 28th, and posted in the Smyth Co. News & Messenger afterward. Prizes: Best of 3D - $100 | 3D Runner-up - $50 | Best of 2D - $100 | 2D Runner-up - $50 | Committee’s Choice - $25. Prizes will be mailed to the winner’s application address the 1st week of November.
