These scarecrows will ultimately be judged based on categories such as: business/nonprofit, school/youth, individual/family, and People’s Choice. The best thing is, a cash prize will be given out to the winner of each category! It is great to see that scarecrows are not only being decorated by individuals and schools, but also by businesses who are getting involved with the surrounding community. As for the People’s Choice votes, anyone can purchase a vote for $1 and they will be able to vote on which scarecrow they think is best.
