The murder of crows is beginning to amass around Fircrest! This is our cue to begin planning our displays for the 2026 SCARECROWS and SKELETONS of FIRCREST! Registration opens on September 1st!
Let's turn the fall doldrums into a fun season filled with a collection of whimsical, spooky and creative skeletons and scarecrows! Imagine all the fun we'll have strolling through our community and checking out all the fall festivities!
So here are the details:
Your display can include a single creative scarecrow, skeleton OR create a huge display with both!
Bigger isn't always better! It's up to you!
Be creative.
Think outside the box.
Have FUN.
Keep it clean (PG rated for our young community members).
Your display must be visible from the street.
It's FREE to enter. And prizes and bragging rights included!
Space is limited. To participate, fill out the JotForm registration and have your display ready by the required time deadline.
And the challenge is on!
