In the Village of Elizabeth, you’ll be greeted by the sight of straw-stuffed shirts, pumpkins, and baling twine adorning the streets, creating a festive fall atmosphere. There will be Scarecrow Competition, sponsored by the Elizabeth Area Chamber of Commerce. Join in the fun and see which creative scarecrow design takes home the top prize!
