From Saturday morning classics to modern animated icons, 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.

Members: $25 • Non-members: $30 

Deadline to register: Friday, September 26

Pickup Dates for Supplies: Supplies can be picked up Saturday, September 13 – Saturday, September 27. Pickup of the scarecrow frame, straw, burlap and twine occurs at the Morris entrance kiosk during public hours.

Scarecrow Drop-Off Date at the Morris: Scarecrows can be dropped off Sunday, September 28 from 11 am – 2 pm at Bloomfield Farm, directly across from the entrance to the Morris.
