Akron Chambers sponsors Scarecrow contest

This Halloween season, the Akron Chamber of Commerce. with the support of village merchants, plans to “spook up” the Main Street business district by sponsoring a scarecrow contest.  Walking down Main Street this month you can see many different scarecrow types all designed and put up by various area businesses.  Those not located on Main Street are also invited to set up a scarecrow on Main Street.  Some scarecrows already in place include a pirate skeleton (pictured left), Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (pictured right), and the headless horseman (pictured middle).  All of these scarecrows will be put up from now  until October 26th with the judging taking place on Halloween weekend and the winner announced at the same time.
