This year’s event featured an incredible lineup of scarecrow displays, each one uniquely designed by local businesses, organizations, and residents. From funny and spooky to clever and colorful, the creativity on display captured the heart of the season. Kids (and plenty of adults!) joined in the fun, trick-or-treating in costume from shop to shop, while the sounds of DJ entertainment kept the energy high all afternoon. 🎶
