As in years past, we welcome creative, whimsical, and lovable entries for our Scarecrow Contest. This event is for businesses and individuals, alike – with prizes for the Most Creative, People’s Choice, Most Unique, and the Penmet Parks’ Choice winners. Download our flyer from our website for specs and contest rules and complete our online entry form.
The Scarecrow Festival is presented by Schulte & Co, the Neighborhood Experts in real estate, and sponsored by several local businesses, including TAPCO Credit Union, Sign Gypsies of Gig Harbor, Peninsula Light Co., and Ocean5. Please bring non-perishable food or personal care items to donate through our partner, the Kiwanis Club of Gig Harbor to Peninsula FISH Food Bank. Your gift means a lot during a time when food bank shelves need to be filled.
