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.
