Bees, Butterflies & Blooms
A Pollinator Paradise • May 23 – September 30, 2025
This Halloween we’re celebrating the colorful, quirky, and beloved world of cartoons! Think big eyes, wild expressions, and unforgettable personalities—heroes, sidekicks, villains, and everything in between. Whether you’re channeling the charm of vintage animation or the bold style of today’s hits, we want to see scarecrows that bring your favorite cartoon characters to life.
Scarecrows will be displayed at the Morris October 1 – November 2. Visitors will vote for their favorite scarecrow on-site October 1 – 20 to determine the winners. The top three scarecrows win a cash prize: $300, $200, and $100.
