Save Saturday for Scarecrow Day at the Pier

NARRAGANSETT, RI --The kids and families take over Gazebo Park at noon on Saturday for a scarecrow competition.

According to Steve Wright, the parks and rec director, this Scarecrows in the Park event is the Town's fourth annual.

Prizes go to the most traditional, most unique and scariest scarecrows. They'll all be on display through Oct. 28 on the edges of Gazebo Park.

The contestants all had to pre-register for the contest by Sept. 30, but everyone can come and watch. Besides pants, a shirt, a hat, gloves and a lot of hay, it takes about 15 plastic bags to stuff a scarecrow's head, according to the parks and rec department.
