Join us at Maring-Hunt Library for the Eighth Annual Scarecrow Festival!
Celebrate the season at this autumnal event featuring free hotdogs and apple cider slushies (while supplies last), live music, and family-friendly activities including Fall-themed temporary tattoos, crafts, an inflatable bounce house and obstacle course, and of course - the Scarecrow Competition! Enjoy shopping with local entrepreneurs at the Fall Market with the Muncie Makers Market, including The Pie Lady!
Help us fill the Maring-Hunt Library Garden with scarecrows and kick off the fall season. Special thanks to the 8twelve Coalition, Jacob’s Orchard, Muncie Mission’s Attic Window, and Rock Daddy, for making this event possible with their contributions.
