2nd place winner in 2025: ScareKracken, San Juan Physical Therapy

Celebrate fall and participate in the7th annual SCARECROW CONTEST! This year we are again expanding the contest to the Town of Friday Harbor neighborhoods as well! It’s a fantastic opportunity for Town residents and businesses to showcase their creativity while celebrating the season. Plus, decorating the Town and neighborhoods for trick-or-treating adds an extra layer of excitement. 

Scarecrow registration begins now! Please get your registration forms back to the chamber by October 19th so we can create the map for all the voters! The registration forms and FAQ’s for the scarecrows are available online, www.sanjuanisland.org/scarecrow-contest. Or send an email to becki@sanjuanisland.org and we will email you one. 

The set up for the scarecrows is between October 16th to the 23rd and are to be displayed around Town businesses and Town neighborhoods. We will have a residential category and a business category for voting. 

Once all the scarecrows are registered and in place, the maps and ballots will be available to download at www.sanjuanisland.org/scarecrow-contest or at the San Juan Island Chamber of Commerce after October 21st. There will be community judging between October 24-28th. Winners will be awarded October 30, 2026.
