From Alden Lane Nursery:
"We are planning a fun-filled weekend for the whole family!
"Scarecrow Building Contest: Alden Lane comes alive in October with colorful and artistic scarecrows posing around the nursery.
"This scarecrow building contest is for anyone who has an imagination and loves to have fun! You can enter as a group or individually – families are encouraged to have fun building together. It is tons of fun for everyone! If you do not want to build, just come to watch and enjoy the fun.
"Categories for 2023:
- Wild West: Blame it all on our Livermore roots. These scarecrows will show up in boots, denim & hats ready to “Saddle Up!” for fun and adventure at our Fall Fest.
- Barbie: 'Hi Barbie!' Time to dress your scarecrow in all things pink or get inspired by another iconic Barbie ensemble.
- Traditional: This is the scarecrow from down on the farm. You can use burlap, denim overalls, buttons, flannel shirts and anything recycled will help bring this hard worker to life.
"This contest is judged by the public. Scarecrows must be left on display at Alden Lane Nursery through Tuesday, October 31st.
"Voting takes place in person at Alden Lane from Monday, October 16th until Monday, October 30th. We will post the winners on our website on November 1st. Winners receive recognition on our social media and lots of bragging rights!
