Annual Scarecrow Contest

THE 2026 SCARECROWS HAVE ARRIVED!

This year, our Annual Scarecrow Competition, part of our Tailgating Festival, features a theme of local non-profits. Our shops have teamed up with these organizations to create a scarecrow that reflects the non-profit. We need your help to make the event a success.

Here's how you can be part of the fun and fundraising:

• Check out the photos below or come to Kitchen Kettle Village Friday, 9/18-Saturday, 9/26 to see the scarecrows in person. Experience the Tailgating Festival when visiting 9/18 and 9/19.

• Cast your vote by donating to your favorite scarecrow or non-profit organization by clicking the link below the photo. Every dollar counts as one vote. Vote as many times and as often as you like. Proceeds go directly to the non-profit organizations.

• Kitchen Kettle Village will match up to $1,000 of the scarecrow raising the most money during the voting period of 9/18-9/26/26.

• Check our Facebook page @kitchenkettlevillage to see who wins the competition the week of 9/28/26.

Thanks for your support of these local non-profits who make our community a better place to work, live, and play.

Visit the Village to see all these great creations in person!
