“Some of the scarecrows, like the Leadership Coshocton County entry, give trail visitors a chance to get a ‘photo-op with the King of Pop’ where gloves, wigs and hats are available to get a selfie with 'Michael Jackson'. We have a ‘Garden Yogi’ promoting home yoga practice, with the scarecrow twisted into ‘Crow-pose’! 2018 even brought scarecrows that sing to you! The Coshocton Junior Woman’s Club created a Mary Poppins scarecrow that sings the iconic theme songs when you walk up to it. It’s quite amazing actually!”

Several repeat themes with new ’twists’ occurred and many groups had additional entries from last year’s competition. In 2016, a giant “Raven” from Raven’s Glenn Winery was the overall winner. “Wild Thing” debuted in 2017 featuring a Cleveland Indians baseball player by Century National Bank to claim the overall win. [**TEASER**]This year’s scarecrow winning entry by total votes on Facebook, email, voicemail, and in person, was a business participating for the first year in the Scarecrow Trail.
