If you’d like to make a scarecrow for display, stop by the Smith Studio and Gallery, located at 124 S.

Bring your finished scarecrow to the Geneseo City Park on Saturday, October 25th between 9:00 am -10:00 am where all the scarecrows will be exhibited on “Scarecrow Row.” EVERY scarecrow will receive a special ribbon, with Geneseo Chamber Gift certificate prizes being awarded to the top three Scarecrows on display.
The public will be invited to come to the City Park to view the scary, exciting and weird creations. From 10:00 am-12:00 pm candy and Halloween treats from Geneseo businesses will be distributed to children visiting Scarecrow Row. Families are encouraged to come to the park dressed in their Halloween costumes. Scarecrows will be on exhibit throughout this special Halloween Saturday until 4pm.
