As usual the entries in the 7th Annual Stevensville Scarecrow Festival were outstanding. The festival featured 25 sculptures in the theme of scarecrows, crows, fall, etc. and five Living Statues.
Coordinator Gary Knapp said over 900 ballots were cast this year for the People’s Choice category. Prizes were awarded in the categories of “Peoples’ Choice,” based on the popular vote of the public, “Artistic Merit,” based on the opinion of a panel of three artists, and “Living Statues,” based on the opinion of three citizens.
