Ralph Calhoun, an associate of the Biedenharn Museum and Gardens, announced the 3rd annual "Scarecrows in the Garden" where multiple nonprofit organizations compete in a scarecrow display competition. The winner will be able to hang their scarecrow on the gate to the garden and also receive a pumpkin styled trophy for a year as well as a smaller trophy that they get to keep permanently. The competition was held October 26 from 3-8 p.m. and was a great event to expose people to a great local spot.
When speaking about the event and its history and where it can go, Ralph said "We want to make this a fun event. We did it two years ago and had to cancel last year, but I really think this is an event that will become a very big deal in the next few years for the community. I really want it to be a staple for our community." Biedenharn Museum and Gardens will allow people to visit the garden free of charge to see the scarecrows Wednesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
