Riverdale has hosted three scarecrow contests 2020-2021-2022. The first year we had 14 entries, and they looked fantastic lined-up in the main market garden, which runs parallel to the Caledon Trail on the west side. Peer review voted this little scarecrow the winner! The following year, we had 9 entries and the winner was the “Front Line Nurse” submitted by the staff at Bethell Hospice. This season, we had a “Canadian Hockey Player”, and a traditional scarecrow entered in the contest. I am guessing the decline in the number of entries was due to inadequate promotion…
Look for the 4th Annual Scarecrow Contest in May 2023!
