Scarecrows on display at Lichterman Nature Center

The Lichterman Nature Center is scaring up some seasonal fun with its larger-than-life scarecrow display.

Located throughout Lichterman’s lawn, dozens of scarecrows created by garden clubs, master gardeners, school groups, scout troops and local area artists are vying for attention.

The scarecrows are part of a competition that awarded prizes in categories such as best school entry, greenest, most creative, best critter and most popular. This year’s winners are:
