Bump for the scarecrows

There is still time left to get those scarecrows made

Don't forget to enter your scarecrows

Don't forget that you can still submit scarecrows, at least up through the 24th if this month. That will only allow you to get a week's worth of votes, but if you're not worried about that, and simply want to donate one to YDI, that is fine.

Thanks to everyone who has already made a scarecrow. This is YDI of Miles City's primary fund raiser for Christmas for the kids we serve, and we greatly appreciate all who participate.

I also wanted to make a correction. This is the FOURTH Annual Scarecrow contest, not the 3rd annual.

Sorry. This one looks to be taller than the 3' limit for this year's contest.

I'm also glad that gourd wasn't more involved.

So what is the criteria for measuring the "scared-ness" of the crows?

If you have it outside somewhere, and not a crow lands on it, it's definitely got "scaredness!"

I recently visited Discovery Pond and was told by an employee there that very few people have voted on any of the scarecrows there in the front corner window. Sure would be nice if people would participate in that vote. The first place winner will receive $100, courtesy of First Interstate Bank. Second place is $50, and an "Honorable Mention" prize of $25 will be given, courtesy of Youth Dynamics, Inc.

So if anyone out there has checked out the scarecrows, and has a favorite, AND would like to see the person who made it get a prize, please go and vote.

The scarecrows will be at Discovery Pond until 10-31, at which time they will no longer be able to be voted on, as they will go "up for auction" on Nov. 2nd.

Don't forget to vote

They will be at the Park Place on Sunday.
There are some really cute ones in the contest
