PUTNAM — Banks took top prizes in the Putnam Business Association’s 5th Annual Scarecrow Contest.
The PBA’s Scarecrow Contest this year featured more than 30 entries spread throughout the town for the Oct. 19 Pumpkin Festival. First place with an extraterrestrial theme went to The Citizens National Bank. Committee members Jo-Ann Chenail, Jennifer McKay, Dianne Doyle, Marion Lewis, Marcia Williams and Mike Guimont worked together to create their entry. If you visit after dark the display even features a green glow.
Second-place entry artistically designed and constructed by Katie Kovacik at Putnam Bank featured “Cat”astrophy. This cat was going after its Halloween prey!
Third place went to Beverly Brazeal who created Pretty Polly Picking Putnam Pears. Her entry is located near the Putnam Post Office.
“Many thanks to all who participated and to Karen Osbrey and Romeo Blackmar who helped serve as judges for this year’s contest which adds so much atmosphere and fun to the Pumpkin Festival,” said Linda Lamoureux, chairperson of the contest. “There were so many great entries with a lot of work put into each of them. Congratulations to the winners!”
The displays are located throughout downtown, on Providence St. and on Route 44.
