In conjunction with Flora's Moonlight Madness on Oct. 7, Flora Community Club is sponsoring a "create your own" scarecrow contest. All businesses are eligible to participate.

Entries can be made from any material, and can even represent the business. Entries must be freestanding, nomore than six-feet tall.

All entries will be displayed downtown during Moonlight Madness.

The contest is not limited to downtown businesses as there will be plenty of room to display the scarecrows. Entries should be taken to The Flower Shoppe by 10 a.m. Oct. 7. They will be judged for the Most Creative Scarecrow sometime during the day. The winner will receive a prize.
