Columbus Day weekend is set to be a busy one in Shelbyville.  Scarecrow Daze takes over downtown, with Balloonfest drawing crowds to the lake and airport.  The two events have historically coexisted well and are ready to do so again this year.  The Greater Shelbyville Chamber Of Commerce is overseeing all of this along with a number of other events in the weeks thereafter.

Katalyn Dragovan is the Chamber director.  With more space and more vendors this year, it’s expected to be the biggest Scarecrow Daze yet.

Scarecrow Daze begins with the parade at 10 a.m. on Saturday, October 11.  The route takes participants from Forest Park south towards Main Street Elementary School. 

Scarecrow Daze is expanding the space it’s using for this year.  This allows for live music and other fun activities on top of what they already provide.

The annual “Candy Run” is scheduled for Wednesday, October 29.  The Chamber is taking over the event this year and hopes to unite the community and local businesses for a fun evening shortly before Halloween.
