Scarecrow competition - pictures! :)

grapfruit wrote: Ok, our town's "downtown" committee is having a Scarecrow Competition. Each downtown business gets the opportunity to enter a scarecrow. We decided to go a little further and decorate the entire window w/the Wizard of Oz theme. Here's a few pictures of what we have. It's not traditional Wizard of Oz, the scarecrow is modeled after a friend (picture at bottom).

Also in the window will be some red shoes, and dog treats and a witch hat (to signifiy the characters).

Ok what do you guys think???


Crows (gotta scare away something!):


Tinny (yes we named them):

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: Just now saw it. Very cute. How about Dorothy and Toto?

grapfruit replied:
We're putting red shoes in the window for Dorothy and some dog biscuits for Toto...

Do you think that's enough?? Also, a witch hat for the witch...

coasterqueen replied: Ahh I think it's great!!!! You are so much more creative than me. What about having a yellow brick road?

BTW, do you work for Am Fam? Just wondering.

momofone replied: Great! Very creative!

Maddie&EthansMom replied: That is very cute!! Great job ladies!!

luvmykids replied: That's great!

redchief replied: Neat idea... more creative than I could ever be. One question... what's the heart for?

Calimama replied: Awesome idea! I think a yellow brick road and red shoes will help people understand that it's the wizard of oz.

MommyToAshley replied: Very cute!

Good luck... what do you get if you win?

My3LilMonkeys replied:
I was wondering that too....the scarecrow was looking for a brain, the tin man for a heart....or am I really confused?

A&A'smommy replied: very cool!!!

grapfruit replied:
We we had to use duct tape. And thought that might be a neat way to incorporate it in the "design" That one was Cyndi's idea actually!


If we win (fingers crossed!) we get a 1/4 page ad in the local newspaper and a trophy!!

grapfruit replied:
No you're right! It's not EXACT WoO (obviously, that scarecrow didn't have a beard)

Boo&BugsMom replied: The scarecrow's hilarious! Love it!
