Update: $560 now!

Congratulations again to all the prize winners from The Eastern Shore Scarecrow Contest! If I haven't already been in touch with you to arrange pick up/drop off of your prizes please email me at [email protected]

In the end we had 40 Scarecrow Submissions! That's double what my hope for participation was, so thank you all so much. I recieved a lot of messages from community members that weren't able to make a Scarecrow, but really enjoyed seeing them out and about 😁 So if you didn't win a prize, please know that you brought many smiles to many people's faces, and that's winning gold in my books πŸ’–

Together we raised $535.00 for our food banks! πŸ’° We're living in a time where inflation, housing and food prices are hurting us and our neighbours. I'm so greatful for everyone who was able to pitch in. You're making a difference, and to those who need our food banks right now...it's ok, that's why they're there!

With much gratitude,
