Safe & Fun Halloween Downtown happens Oct. 31

–Local schoolchildren have once again put their personal touch on creative scarecrows, with merchants in downtown Paso Robles “adopting” these unique creations and displaying them at the front of their businesses. In the scarecrow contest, people were invited to visit businesses with scarecrow displays and vote for their favorite; voting closed Oct. 27 and ribbons will be placed on the winning creations in several categories.

The scarecrows are created annually by students, as a classroom group, throughout Paso Robles schools. Winning classrooms are eligible to earn awards, and voters often win mystery prizes at stores where ballots are cast.
