The Downtown Edmond Business Association will be hosting their annual scarecrow decorating contest this October. Members of DEBA were each given a scarecrow and asked to decorate it and display it to help welcome Fall in to Downtown Edmond. “We feel this is a fun way to attract people to downtown Edmond
to see the scarecrows while bringing some fall cheer to the streets. Everyone has been excited to participate again and the scarecrows are even more creative this year”, DEBA Executive Director Stephanie Carel said. The public will vote via social media with a first, second and third place winner announced. Scarecrow
contest will run until October 5th through October 31st. Please visit Downtown Edmond on Facebook to vote for your favorite scarecrow. Be sure to “like” your favorite scarecrow on the original post created by Downtown Edmond. We invite you all to come down and check them out in person.
