Tifton launches annual Scarecrows on Main autumn competition

Tifton is launching its sixth annual ‘Scarecrows on Main’ competition starting September 25. Organized by the Downtown Development Authority, this year’s theme is ‘A Little Bit of Magic,’ encouraging participants to decorate scarecrows with fairy tale and fantasy motifs.

Decorations will be primarily located in downtown Tifton, though the community is invited to participate. Residents can vote for their favorites on the Downtown Tifton Facebook page, with winners to be announced at the Tifton Farmers Market on October 17. Prizes will be awarded to the top three designs and a ‘Main Street’s Choice’ selection. Registration for the event closes on September 30.
