The Keeper’s Scarecrow Parade

GENERAL GUIDELINES

Have fun! And have a good time coming up with great scarecrow ideas to make Dobbs Ferry’s Aqueduct trail a festive spot this fall.

Here’s what you need to know:

All scarecrows will be set up on October 3 from 9am to 2pm, on the Aqueduct Trail near the Keeper’s House.(Rain date October 4) Scarecrows will be on display from October 3-31. 

YOU MUST REGISTER YOUR SCARECROW(s) BY SEPTEMBER 24TH. OTHERWISE WE MAY NOT HAVE ENOUGH HAYBALES AND POLES READY FOR YOU.

The care of your scarecrow is important! By registering, you agree to maintain your handiwork, and make repairs if necessary. 

Schools, camps, religious groups and volunteer groups can contact Laura Compagni at the email address below to set up a workshop time that works for them.

PLEASE ASK LAURA COMPAGNI, PARKS EDUCATOR, IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS: Laura.compagni@parks.ny.gov

NOTE: Please have the resposible adult register the scarecrow(s) for your group or family. Once you have completed registration you will receive an email with instructions on how to send us your Scarecrow Name(s) and the name of the child, group or family that are making them so we can create labels!
