The Downtown Orangeburg Revitalization Association will celebrate the fall season with the annual Scarecrows on Russell Street Contest from Oct. 10 to Nov. 4; Downtown Boo Bash from noon to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 22; and the Taste of Orangeburg from noon to 3 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 23.
Scarecrow artists can be of all ages and include individuals, businesses, schools, students and civic groups. Participating scarecrows will be displayed on the 1100, 1200 and 1300 Blocks of Russell Street.
“Let your imagination run wild as you create that scarecrow you have always wanted to make,” Executive Director Candice Roberson said. “We could see a straw ballerina, pirate, lawyer, pharmacist, or one of your favorite Hocus Pocus witches hanging out in Downtown Orangeburg for the next couple of weeks.”
Participants are reminded that scarecrows should be family friendly – whimsical, humorous or mischievous but not frightening. It is free to participate but registration is required. To register, visit https://www.cognitoforms.com/DORA13/_2022DowntownScarecrowContest2.
