2020 Scarecrow Winners Announced!

Uncategorized

The results are in…

What an amazing year for scarecrows! Our entries this year were the most creative we’ve seen yet, ranging from the tallest to the smallest. Voter turnout was also the highest yet. We’re happy that so many people enjoyed this year’s contest, and we hope you’re all planning your scarecrow (or carecrow, if you’re friends with the birds!) for next year.

 

The winners for the 2020 Scarecrow Contest are…

 

First places goes to DAC Diva, made by everyone at the Douglas County Developmental Achievement Center
Second place goes to Slender Man, made by Danny Sieve, Ginger Maynard, & Coldwell Banker Crown Realtors
Third place goes to Baby Boo, made by the Alexandria Jaycees.

 

Thank you to everyone who participated, and stay tuned for more fun from your friends at the Douglas County Historical Society.
