7th Annual Scarecrow Stroll ~ Bigger & Better Than Ever
Register Now to Participate |
It's September. That means school, homework, practice, summer vacation a distant memory and... time to start thinking about those wild and crazy scarecrows. The 7th Annual Scarecrow Stroll, the popular event that draws more than 100 scarecrows and people from all over, runs October 23-31. Don't miss out on the fun and a chance to win.
We're excited to announce that Mommies 24/7, a dynamic group from Cranford & neighboring towns, will partner with us this year to run a Scarecrow Scavenger Hunt. More details coming.
This year, registration is also open to residents, families and artists of neighboring towns. There have been many requests so we decided to welcome everyone to join Cranford residents this year and make a scarecrow for the competition. Businesses, clubs, organizations, schools and teams must be Cranford based.
