From Sticks to Scarecrows – the Winners

The Winners of the Long Grove Park District’s Scarecrow Creation Contest

A bit of chaos was the norm at the Long Grove Park District’s annual Scarecrow Creation event on October 10 as more than 75 people, from toddlers to grandparents, designed and crafted scarecrows.  Starting with “skeletons” and “heads” provided by the Park District, the families stuffed, drew, glued, pinned, and stapled until their creation took life in front of them.  The families then took their creation home to brighten up their Halloween season decor.

Winners:

  • Kangail family – Colorful Fall Fashion
