Scarecrows reunion

PHILLIPS – The 13th annual scarecrow reunion will be held Saturday, Sept. 27, at the lot on Main Street. Judging will be at 10 a.m. on that day. Stakes for the scarecrows will be provided earlier in the week.

The scarecrows will be left attached to their stakes until Oct. 9 in order to give visitors two full weeks to visit the grouping.
