Falmouth Village, MA – Each fall for the last few years, one by one the scarecrows begin appearing throughout Falmouth Village, MA.  This year, the scarecrow show promises to be even bigger and better with more than 20 businesses “making hay” with uniquely styled and themed scarecrows.  Look for a complete list of scarecrow locations at www.FalmouthVillageAssociation.com.

And those scarecrows are doing their job!  They’ve scared the crows into 20 participating businesses up and down Falmouth Village’s Main Street and visitors are challenged to find them all.  Look for the “scaredy crow” in the window of participating businesses, then go inside, pick up your registration form and start finding the rest of the crows.  Completed entries are those that identify all 20 “scaredy crows” and turn them in to Eight Cousins Bookstore.  Prizes will be randomly drawn and awarded from completed entries.

Here’s a description of the fall and Halloween events coming to Falmouth Village throughout October.

Village of Scarecrows, late October – November 20:  Some towns display pumpkins and others make people out of them, but Falmouth Village is famous for its striking collection of scarecrows displayed throughout October and November.  Be sure to visit Falmouth Village to take in the creative scarecrows fashioned by retailers, restaurants and businesses along Falmouth Village’s Main Street and Queens Buyway, welcoming customers to their businesses.  From “Gumby-themed” to scary and pretty, you’ll be amazed at the inventive and unique  scarecrow decorating abilities among Falmouth Village Association members and the pride they take in their scarecrows too!  Be sure to vote for your favorite one in the People’s Choice Award on Falmouth Village’s Facebook page.  Then compete for prizes as you identify the 20 “scaredy crows” in stores throughout the Village.  Look for crows on the windows of participating stores.
