HOW IT WORKS: Hackettstown BID businesses wishing to participate will create a scarecrow to be displayed outside their business. Please notify the HBID no later than October 2, 2023 with your design idea. Scarecrows need to be in place by October 6, and removed by November 10.
THEME: MOVIE CHARACTERS
BE CREATIVE AND HAVE FUN. Every scarecrow must contain the basic characteristics of a traditional scarecrow, which include stuffing or hay that protrudes out of the hands, head, feet, and neck. It cannot just be a mannequin in a costume!
