Any organization or business is encouraged to adopt a lamp post on downtown Main Street and put up a scarecrow or other three-dimensional, family-friendly, fall-themed figure.
The top three scarecrows will be decided by public vote. Voting will take place online via www.explorebluffton.com throughout October. The winner will be announced Tuesday, October 28.
