Create a life-size scarecrow at annual ‘Make A Scarecrow’ event
October 1, 2009
Kokomo, Ind. – Show off your craft skills while supporting student scholarships at the annual “Make A Scarecrow” event sponsored by the Indiana University Kokomo Staff Council. Straw-stuffers will be able to create a life-size scarecrow on Saturday, October 17, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Farlows Orchard in Russiaville.
For only $10 per person, participants will receive clothing, accessories, and straw to fashion a scarecrow character of their choosing – from traditional to scary. These will make a fine festive fall decoration for anyone’s yard or front porch. Volunteers will be on hand to assist with the projects.
All proceeds benefit the staff council, which raises money for student scholarships, campus improvements, and projects to benefit the surrounding communities.
A hot dog and chip combo will be available for $2. A rain date has been set for Saturday, October 24.
