Almost everyone we talked to said the same thing – summer went by SO FAST! Days are cooling, leaves are falling, and harvest is in full swing…..all telltale signs of fall’s arrival. But, there’s more!

Take a quick walk down Mulholland Street in the Nauvoo business district and you get the feeling summer is long gone. The 1^st Annual Scarecrow Festival launched giving downtown guests a real taste of Nauvoo fall. There are 25 scarecrows (and a few Minions!) perched, propped, and positioned to catch your eye and elicit a smile….and even laughter when you catch their names.

If you’re not here in Nauvoo, here’s what you are missing. Can you guess where these are located?

Persica the Owl

 

Scaredy Crow

 

Baxter’s C-Fields

Many more to see in Nauvoo…..and they will be here all of October. Come see us…..unless you’re scared!
