DIY Scarecrow Day | 12–4pm

Behind Fred Astaire Dance Studio
342 Old McHenry Road, Long Grove, IL 60047

Join us for a fantastic fall afternoon making a scarecrow to be displayed in Historic Downtown Long Grove! Over the years we’ve watched scarecrow engineers construct superheroes, cartoon characters, make-believe monsters and more.

We encourage you to get creative with your designs. Builders should bring clothes, hats, shoes, accessories and any other items they want for customizing their scarecrow. (If you have an extra plastic milk jug for the head, please bring one).

Cost: $10 per scarecrow (station) to be donated to the HDLGBA (Non-refundable)

  • Each station may have a maximum of six people working
  • Each station includes a frame, and stuffing to build one scarecrow (clothing, shoes, and accessories are not included)
  • The event will be held outside so please dress accordingly
  • Rain or shine (unless there is severe weather)
  • Please arrive on time. You may lose your time slot if you arrive more than 10 minutes late.

Registration is required. Walk-ins accepted if space allows throughout the event.

Registration opens September 16, 2024.
