Scarecrows return to Kennesaw’s Main Street

The City of Kennesaw invites residents, families, neighborhoods, non-profit, civic and faith-based organizations, local businesses, schools, local

sports teams, athletic clubs, etc. to design and create a scarecrow to display on Main Street for the third annual “Scarecrows on Main” display.

A $25 application fee to the Kennesaw Downtown Development Authority is required with the entry of each scarecrow. All monies raised will go to promoting the downtown through beautification projects and events.

The application and information packets can be found at http://www.kennesaw-ga.gov/scarecrowsonmain. The deadline for applications is Sept. 12. 

The City of Kennesaw will upload images of each scarecrow to their Facebook page at www.facebook.com/CityofKennesaw, where the community will be invited to cast their vote for their favorite scarecrows. The top three scarecrows will be awarded a “People’s Choice” award, and the scarecrow with the most votes will receive bragging rights, as well as a $100 prize. Second place will receive a $50 prize and third place will receive a $25 prize.
