The First Annual Scarecrow Contest sponsored by the Falls Village Children's Theater demonstrated that Falls Villagers have unlimited ingenuity and imagination. It proves that this is a tight-knit town bursting with creative souls and that bodes well for the future of the not-for-profit Falls Village Community & Cultural Center, which will be getting a new roof this week, the first step in the long road to transforming the glorious Emerson Building at 103 Main Street into a hub of artistic activity for every resident of the town and surrounding communities.
Here's a sampling of the nearly 50 scarecrows that were installed this morning and now line Main Steet, the Town Green and Beebe Hill Road.

A great community. I was really pleased to see how many of the names I knew, even as an outlander.
And, when wife and I went to the Ham Supper at the Falls Village Congregational Church, I was impressed with (1) the dinner (2) the crowd -- you had to wait to get a seat! (3) the friendliness of the whole place.
Falls Village had a great weekend in my book!
We had a great time voting for the scarecrows. Can you please tell us who won each category? We hope you do it again next year!
Here are the results of the voting:
Most Falls Village - Volunteer of the Year - FV Volunteer Ambulance, Pete the Highway Guy - FV Town Garage, The Constant Gardners, Falls Village Flower Farm.
Funniest: Four Eyed Pete the Mariner, Colter Rule; When Fish Go Peopling, 3rd and 4th Grade Kellogg School, Chercrow by Sharon Hamilton, Garth Kobal and Ray Rigdon.
Best Look Alike - Marilyn by Taylor Cannon, Pete the Highway Guy, FV Town Garage, Chercrow by Sharon Hamilton, Garth Kobal and Ray Rigdon
Scariest - Herman by Kevin and Emily Hennesey, Dead Polly by Ciara McElroy, Mairead Hodgkins and Emily Hennessey, Gone With The Wind by Rebecca and Guy Rovezzi
Most Theatrical - Chercrow by Sharon Hamilton, Garth Kobal and Ray Rigdon, FVCT Scarecrow by Emma Cohn and Rebecca Rovezzi, Gone With The Wind by Guy and Rebecca Rovezzi.
I almost forgot: The Day Care Center did a great pancake breakfast on Sunday--featherweight flapjacks, creamy scrambled eggs, savory sausage and strong, delicious coffee. It was a great way to start the day.
