Scarecrow Contest Winners Announced

Election totals are not the only returns that came back in Tuesday.

On Tuesday, Main Street Toccoa tallied the votes and announced the winners for this year’s Scarecrow Contest.

First place went to The Studio/Currahee Artists Guild, while second place went to Sunnyside Baptist Church, and third place went to Currahee Veterinary Clinic.

The fifth annual Scarecrow Contest took place during October, with voting wrapping up this past weekend.

39 scarecrows were entered in to this year’s countywide contest.

Events Coordinator Sharon Crosby says Main Street Toccoa thanks all of the businesses and groups that participated this year.

The scarecrows were up to welcome the city’s guests during October and early November to events like Currahee Military Weekend and the Toccoa Harvest Festival.
