CHAPPELL HILL SCARECROW FESTIVAL THIS WEEKEND

  

Autumn has officially come to Washington County and a fall favorite event will kick off the season in this week.

The 39th Annual Scarecrow Festival will take place this Saturday and Sunday in Chappell Hill.

The Festival boasts more than 250 juried exhibitors (home décor, gardening, artists, craftsmen, jewelry, clothing, etc.), delicious country-style food, live entertainment and music, and tours of the historic community. A special Children’s Activity Corner provides pony rides, a petting zoo, face painting, barrel train and more.

The Festival is hosted by the Chappell Hill Historical Society, a non-profit volunteer organization dedicated to the preservation of the community's history and historic buildings. The Society's goal is to stage a high-quality, fun show in the downtown National Historic District. The festival area is Main Street, Poplar Street, and the property behind the Visitor's Center.

The Scarecrow Festival will take place from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Sunday. There is no admission fee, but parking is $5. Parking is located on FM 1155, north of Hwy 290 and FM 1155 intersection. For more information, visit Chappellhillmuseum.org.
