Here is another FUN scarecrow from last year's SCARECROW ROW in Geneseo.
Can you tell me who made this?

Notice that there is a ribbon pinned to the scarecrow's sweatshirt. This one says "Most Likeable"! Every scarecrow gets a ribbon ...so start thinking about what type of scarecrow you would like to make. Pick up a FREE scarecrow frame at the Smith Studio and Gallery or at the office of the Chamber Of Commerce located in Geneseo's City Hall.

Just 15 days away! Scarecrow Row is held in Geneseo's City Park on Saturday, October 31st.
