The annual Shelbyville Scarecrow Daze celebrating scarecrows is in October and it’s introducing the first ever Scarecrow Daze Pageant. 

Kari Dunn is with the Shelbyville Chamber of Commerce. She says it is a great opportunity for girls of all ages to show their skills. 

Dunn says that the early deadline for applications has passed, but the chamber will take late applications for the Scarecrow Pageant until September 17, but practices start soon. 

Aside from the pageant, this is the first opportunity for Scarecrow Daze after the height of the pandemic last fall and winter. Dunn says that the chamber has a lot planned. 

Scarecrow Daze kicks off Saturday October 9 in Shelbyville. Learn more about Scarecrow Daze on it’s Facebook page.
