Building The Mamaroneck Scarecrow Trail 2023: The 'Stuff' Of Dreams

MAMARONECK, NY — A new fall tradition is coming back and your neighbors will need some help to make this year's Mamaroneck Avenue "Scarecrow Trail" the best yet.

Although autumn weather and the time for fall sweaters and harvest decorations are a few weeks off, it's already time to start thinking about building a scarecrow — if not to protect the crops, then to at least use your creative talents to show up the Joneses.

The Fourth Annual Mamaroneck Scarecrow Build will take place at Harbor Island Park on Saturday, October 7. There will be two sessions, the first taking place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the second taking place from 2 p.m. until 5 p.m. In addition to a chance to build your own scarecrow for the scarecrow trail, attendees will have the chance to decorate pumpkins.

Pre-registration is required and can be done here. The fee for residents to participate is $45.00 per scarecrow. The fee is $55.00 per scarecrow for non-residents.

All materials, except clothing, are included, so dig through the donation bags in the garage and get ready to strike terror in the hearts of crows up and down Mamaroneck Avenue throughout the month of October.
