Montgomery’s Mayor Todd Strange will judge the Old Alabama Town Herb Society’s annual Art Adventure/Scarecrows in the Garden competition on Monday, September 26 at 10:00 am. Installation of the Scarecrows will take place on Saturday, September 24th, at Old Alabama Town (Living Block area).
Awards categories are Best in Show, 1st, 2nd, 3rd Place, and Honorable Mention. The public is invited to attend.
Members of the Old Alabama Herb Society (OATHS) gather each year to create scarecrows for an annual display of Art Adventure/Scarecrow in the Gardens at Old Alabama Town (OAT). The mayor’s office, local schools and Eat South have participated in the annual event. This year, OATHS are inviting local colleges’ art departments, and businesses to participate.
OATHS president, Duck Mara, said “We really want to expand participation in the annual event. It’s a fun Fall event and an excellent way to get local businesses involved, and students to display their creativity to the many Old Alabama Town visitors from across the world, thus encouraging interest in the downtown Montgomery area.
