Those attending our Scarecrow Saturday in the Garden were able to vote their choice of the best scarecrow display this year. The ballots have been counted! ALICE IN WONDERLAND created by Humble Pie Catering was the top vote getter. PINK IVY de VIL created by AKA Sorority finished second. There were some great displays this year! We thank all those who participated. The scarecrows will be on display for one more week (through November 1st). Come on out and enjoy.
