Downtown Fairmont Scarecrow Contest

Main Street Fairmont is proud to host a
Downtown Scarecrow Contest!
Everyone is welcome to participate but MUST register with the Main Street office first!

1. Participants must register by contacting the Main Street Fairmont office at 366-0468, contact@mainstreetfairmont.org or Sandra@mainstreetfairmont.org.
2. Scarecrows must be constructed from durable materials that will survive at least one month in the elements. Dimensions should be approximately 4’ by 2’ or so.
3. Scarecrows can be as creative as ever, just please make sure they are “appropriate” for family viewing.
4. Creators will be responsible for installing their scarecrows to their pre-assigned lamppost with Main Street supplied Zip Ties on October 4, 2008 between 7:30 and 10am.
5. Scarecrow must be removed by the creator on Sunday, November 2, 2008.
6. Main Street Fairmont is not responsible for your scarecrow. Please visit it periodically to make sure it is presentable.
7. Main Street Fairmont will provide you with a laminated sign for your scarecrow.
8. Scarecrow and surrounds can not impede sidewalk, parking meter, or access from street to sidewalk & parking meters. Once assigned a pole you might want to look at the location before deciding on your design.
Community members can vote on their favorite scarecrow through ballot boxes placed in designated downtown stores. Each person can only vote ONCE at each ballot location! Prizes will be awarded to Most Creative Design, Funniest Scarecrow, Scariest Scarecrow, and best overall.
