Scarecrow Contest
This year, we're partnering with the Nellie McKnight Museum and Ellington Historical Society in conjunction with the Grand Reopening on October 17th.
Scarecrows are to be displayed on the Town Green (spots are first-come, first-served!) beginning October 1. In order to be eligible for a prize, you must complete an entry form (submit online below!) and submit a photo to Julia Connor in the First Selectman's Office; feel free to email her with any questions, as well.
We're also excited to introduce our Inaugural Pumpkin Contest! Entries, including carved and otherwise decorated, will be displayed outside the Nellie McKnight Museum; voting will take place at the Grand Opening.
