About the application

This application is open to public schools only. There is no fee and no limit to the amount of entries per school/classroom. If you have over 5 scarecrow applications at your school, hay will be delivered to you. This hay is for the construction of the crows only. There will be hay also at your location for mounting and decoration of the crow.

NEW THIS YEAR - It’s first-come, first-served, so complete your application ASAP and grab your preferred spot early!

We are rolling out a fun scavenger hunt with puzzles to solve along the way, to make sure everyone visits the whole display. Visitors will even get to vote for their favorite scarecrow with recognition for 'best of' scarecrows to be announced at Boo Bash, as well as featured online, in the local paper, and best of all, they get first pick of next year’s prime patch locations. Bring your creativity, gather your team, and please encourage your friends in the community to apply. The more crows the merrier!

*Please note all scarecrows must be removed by 11/2. Any items left after this date will be picked up and recycled and/or thrown away. *
