Scarecrows Along Main • Month of October
Scarecrows Along Main is sponsored and organized by Old Wethersfield Shopkeeper’s Association-OWSA (Explore Wethersfield) since 1995. This is an annual event where local businesses create handmade scarecrows and display them along the main hub of Main Street in Old Wethersfield.
Many are created to showcase one’s business, while others are simply made with love and enjoyment. We cannot wait for you to see what the Chamber has for a scarecrow this year! Thank you to the OWSA for bringing this wonderful autumn stroll to our town for the past twenty-seven years; applications for submission can be found on their website here.
