The new metal sculpture, a commissioned piece created by Laura Jean Newby to commemorate the legacy of the Stevensville Scarecrow Festival, was unveiled last Friday, October 3, in a short ceremony at Creamery Garden Park in downtown Stevensville. The unveiling kicked off the 20th annual event, which this year drew a record number of more than 70 entries and an attendance estimated at over 6,000 over the weekend.
