1. Scarecrows, in one form or another, have been around for thousands of
years. As long as people have raised crops for food, they have needed to keep
birds and other pests from devouring the plants before harvest. Making these
traditional figures is becoming popular once more as an art form, and as a
colorful and nostalgic addition to backyard gardens and orchards. To assist
in keeping this tradition alive, we are offering this special.
2. All participants should use their creativity in developing their exhibits.
3. Entries may be displayed throughout the fairgrounds (including outside
locations) during the fair. The display location of each entry will be determined
