Downtown Park Hills Scarecrow Contest

The Downtown Park Hills Association is hosting its 3rd Annual Scarecrow Contest!

ALL Park Hills businesses are invited to participate!  Just register your participation, create a scarecrow, and then invite your friends, family, customers, whomever you'd like, to vote for your creation on the Downtown Park Hills Facebook Page.

Downtown light poles are available for use - even if your business is NOT located downtown. There are only 27 poles available and those will be assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis. Scarecrows may be located on the poles, in front of your business, or in your business window.
