This happened at River Road Park in Willington. However, we have had our own problems at Ashford Memorial Park. Damaging public property is not okay. This has gone far beyond "kids being kids".

Individuals, families, groups, schools, businesses and organizations are all encouraged to share their creativity with the Ashford community by creating an artistic scarecrow display for all to enjoy. Choose your theme. Remember this year we celebrate America's 250th!

All scarecrows must be in good taste, not gruesome or frightening, nor political or controversial. APRC will disqualify and remove any setups that do not follow these guidelines. This is a great opportunity to showcase your business or organization. Prizes for top 3 winners.

Setup can either be at your business location or at the Knowlton Memorial Hall green, parallel to the parking lot. Registration and setup no later than October 18th. Voting will be here on Facebook and will be open 10/19-11/6.

Register your scarecrow at ashford.recdesk.com. Contact Noah with questions at [email protected] or (860)487-4409.

Have fun and start creating!
