2009 Benicia Scarecrows — Here They Are
October 26th, 2009 categories: Benicia, Fun Stuff, Local Stuff
For the past week-plus, I’ve been introducing you to this year’s entries in Benicia’s Scarecrow Contest. I took one last stroll around town earlier today and was able to get a few more photos.
The Re/Max entry was out on First Street today, but I still wasn’t able to get anything more than an orange bucket and few wooden supports for the entries at Hissy Fits and The Honey Mill.
Below is a photo collage with every entry I was able to capture with my camera. For a complete list of this year’s entries, courtesy of the Benicia Main Street Program, which sponsors the contest each year, click here (not every businesses on this list has a scarecrow yet on display).
Click the image below to see all 22+ entries. Depending on your browser, once the image appears, you may have to click on it a second time to enlarge it to its full size.
I hope I didn’t miss any of the entries. If you notice any that I’ve missed, let me know (or email me a photo) and I’ll post it.
Don’t forget to vote for your favorite Scarecrow. Entry forms are available at most businesses that are participating in the contest.
I must say that after seeing these scarecrows up close, I’m very amazed and impressed with the creative talent that exists here in Benicia. So even though the Main Street Program will announce the overall winner, in my book everyone who participated is a winner.
This is just one more example of why Benicia is such a terrific place to live. I said it back in 1986 when we moved here, but it’s still true today — Benicia always seems to get better and better with each passing day.
