Twenty-two sites participated in the Mendon Cultural Council’s second annual Scarecrow Contest this year. 

Residents and businesses signed up in advance, a map was created, and the public voted on their favorites.

The winners were: 

1st Place: Vandervalk Winery

2nd Place: Joint Operations

3rd Place: McGann Family
