The Scarecrow Walk is back for its seventh year, with the most festive scarecrows adorning the streets of Downtown Toms River. From October 13 through October 31, the scarecrows will be on display, and you may either participate or vote for your favorite scarecrow.
The public is asked to vote for their favorite scarecrow in the downtown area. From October 13th through October 31st, scarecrows will be on display. Voting ballots will be distributed to participating businesses. Just look in their window for the Scarecrow Walk poster!
Do you believe you have what it takes to compete? It's time to start thinking of your ultimate scarecrow. So go through your attic for old clothes, look through your fall decorations, and start creating the perfect scarecrow.
There is no entry fee and the contest is open to people of all ages.

There will be two opportunities to win this year. The first is the popular People's Choice contest, in which the public choose their favorite scarecrow. The Judge's Choice will be the second round. The best scarecrow will be chosen by a panel of special judges. Both contests will be immediately submitted for your scarecrow.
Check-In/Delivery of Scarecrow:
Entrants are responsible for bringing their fully assembled scarecrows to the courtyard in front of Town Hall on Monday, October 10th from 2 pm to 5 pm. A weatherproof sign with the name of your entry will be provided at check-in.
You will then get your location for placement.
Scarecrows will be affixed to the light posts throughout Downtown. All scarecrows must face in toward the sidewalk and businesses and NOT face the street.
