24 scarecrows lined the Strong Family Farm's fences on West Street and Peterson Road this year. At Vernon's community farm's Harvest Festival this Saturday, the winners were announced and awarded blue ribbons. Red ribbons were given to all that other entries. The judges always have a hard time deciding which scarecrows are the winners. The farm wants to thank all who entered and looking forward to seeing next year's entries!
