Scarecrow Competition

Picture
Congratulations to Mr. Rodriguez and Ms. Picarazzi, Kindergarten at Thomas Hooker School for their "Luca" scarecrow, and to Mrs. Eschert's 2nd Grade Class at Classical Studies Magnet Academy "Blooming with Kindness" scarecrow.
Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo is excited to once again invite area art classes, schools, and classrooms to build a scarecrow! The Zoo provides you with the materials needed to build a scarecrow. Scarecrows will be displayed on Zoo grounds from mid-October thru early November. Scarecrows will be voted on at our Boo at the Zoo event on Saturday, October 30th and Sunday, October 31st. Winners will be announced the next day.

ONE Best In Show Winner will receive a virtual classroom visit from the Zoo, and be featured on the Zoo’s website and Facebook page!

We are excited to announce that we have an astounding 84 scarecrows this year!

Interested in sponsoring a classroom? Please refer to the sponsorship guide below. 

Please contact Jessica Taylor, Event Fundraising Coordinator at 203.394.5522 or jtaylor@beardsleyzoo.org with any questions.
