For the people who are as smitten with fall as me, there’s a downtown area in a Wisconsin village that has fully embraced the Halloween spirit.
Down Main Street in Union Grove , you’ll see dozens of scarecrows lining the street. It’s part of a new scarecrow decorating challenge the village started three years ago. In just those few years, the town has fully committed to the challenge.
“So we have the whole family kind of brainstorm like hey what should we do this year. We really want to keep it educational and keep that vibe of historical and some kind of meaning behind it,” Angie Childers, the co-owner of Seven Seas Creative Space, said.
Childers and her family created an astronaut scarecrow in honor of Neil Armstrong. In previous years they made a Bob Ross and Where’s Waldo scarecrow. Other displays around town include Scooby-Doo, a scary Halloween creature, a goofy cat, a Minion, and more.
