  • Scarecrow Contest

    Exhibitors at the Groton Fall Festival have the opportunity to be part of a fun and exciting new promotional program: a scarecrow scavenger hunt. Attendees at the Festival will get a list of all the booths with scarecrows. To participate, they must visit each booth and take a photo of the scarecrow. If they get a photo of every scarecrow, they can return to the GMCC booth to enter to win great prizes. They also get to vote for their favorite.

    If your scarecrow is chosen as the winner, you will get a free booth at next year's Fall Festival!

    This program is a fun way to draw traffic and attention to your booth at the Fall Festival, and you know that many of those great scarecrow pictures will make their way to social media giving you even more exposure.

    Participation is only $50, and you are responsible for the construction of your own scarecrow. Scarecrows should be acceptable for a family friendly audience.
