The Downtown Milford Business Association will host the Third Annual Scarecrow Fest in the city throughout October. People will be able to build their own unique scarecrows for display. The Scarecrow Fest is open to families, Milford-based businesses, organizations and clubs while supplies last.
Kits can be purchased on the DMBA website at downtownmilfordct.com. Kits will be available for pickup on Saturday, Sept. 30 at the Downtown Milford Farmers Market, located at 71 W. Main St., from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Entrants are responsible for delivering the completed scarecrow to the Taylor Building, located at 5 Broad St., on Saturday, Oct. 14 between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m.
Once the fest is over, participants will be able to pick up their scarecrows on Nov. 4 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. to take home scarecrow to display and enjoy.
