Photos simply can’t capture how magical this Wizard of Oz themed scarecrow display truly was! From Dorothy and Toto to the Wicked Witch tucked under the house, every detail brought the classic story to life. And if you peeked in the window, you’d even spot a spinning tornado swirling inside!

Scarecrows That Support Small Businesses

While people are here to enjoy the scarecrows, they are also grabbing lunch, shopping, or discovering a new favorite business. That circulation of dollars directly supports our small businesses, keeps money local, and strengthens the heartbeat of downtown.
