Thanks so much to all the community members who made scarecrows and braved a rainy day to attend our Open House and Bake sale!!

And now for the much awaited news... Drum roll please.... The Public's Choice Award goes to our very own Gold Nugget Museum who created Old Jack Strawman (3 #), a great conversationalist!! His story and classic look were the love of the community. Gold Nugget Days, Inc., Gold Nugget Museums we have your prize and will be in contact.

The gardener's choice was a very close race but went to Naptime Nellie ( #5) fore creative use of material she had on hand, made by Kate Scowsmith during her child's naptime.

The scarecrows are drying out in the garden after their adventure. Contestants can pick them up tomorrow after 9 until about noon or by arrangement. Thank you all! We hope to have this become an annual event. We loved all your Green Guardian scarecrows and your creative spirits. We have a wonderful community!
~ Love, the Gardeners
