With Halloween nearly approaching, it’s time to get into the Halloween spirit. The great employees at the AmeriCash Loans Bradley location decided that it would be great to participate in the Scarecrow Hollow Contest at Perry Farmhouse. For the Scarecrow Hollow Contest, there are a maximum of 150 scarecrow entries. 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. All of the proceeds for the People’s Choice votes will be going to Presence St. Mary’s Breast Health Center.

With the cold weather coming shortly, it is the perfect time to stock up on some cold weather gear. Make sure that you have all of your basics covered; jackets, pants, boots, hats, and gloves. It is also a good idea to find these materials sooner than later if you do not have them already so it does not become difficult to find them as the cold weather progresses even more. One thing to keep in mind is that some people are less fortunate than others and cannot provide for themselves during this year’s cold weather. Whether it is because they cannot afford new warm clothing or their current warm clothing attire is worn beyond repair, they are going to need some proper clothing for the upcoming season. For this reason, many organizations come together to provide these essential needs for those who cannot provide them for themselves or their families.
