 The
Preston City Congregational Church is gearing up for it’s
4th annual Scarecrow Festival, scheduled for Saturday, September
19th , from 9 am – 6 pm. Dozens of scarecrow entries will
be making their way to compete in this year’s contest –
humorous, creative and good old fashioned scarecrows line
the fields for this harvest-themed festival. We also have
a scarecrow contest just for kids!
This FREE event promises
to be a family favorite with something for everyone. As
festival goers peruse the grounds to vote for their favorite
scarecrows, they will enjoy live entertainment, dozens of
crafters & vendors and food galore.
Children have their own Pumpkin Patch
area complete with games, prizes, pumpkin painting, crafts
and what would a children’s area be without a moon bounce?
The Mason’s CHIP program will be available throughout the
day, as well as fire safety and smoke house demonstrations
running on the hour to round out your family’s visit.
 The
stage is jammed packed with live entertainment including
blue grass, country, rock & roll and wrapping up with Preston’s
favorite Farmer Joe & Country friends.
If all of the festivities make you
hungry, there is a lot more to crow about. The day is begin
with a hearty pancake breakfast and is followed by scrumptious
burgers, dogs, chowders, chili, and corn on the cob at the
Crow’s Nest food area. At 3:00, the festival’s delicious
chicken BBQ rolls out to wrap up the evening. If you have
a sweet tooth, you will not feel left out, festival goers
can sample pies entered into the pie contest, stop by the
ice cream shop or make their way to the bake sale – chocked
full of cakes, cookies, pastries and other temptations.
