Scarecrows in the Gardens
Fall at the DABG means the arrival of
"Scarecrows in the Gardens". This annual event, sponsored this year by
Branch Banking & Trust Co.,
started in 2005 and has become the most popular attraction at the Gardens
drawing large crowds from throughout the area to view the
creations.
This event is a scarecrow-building
competition open to everyone including families, businesses, organizations and
school groups. There is a
$20 entry fee and cash prizes are given to the winners in several
categories. Scarecrows are set up in late September and remain throughout
the month of October.
All first time 'crow builders are strongly
encouraged to attend one of the scarecrow-building workshops held at the Gardens
in late August and
early September. Dates will be announced and posted on the Events
pages of the website.
