From October 1-31st every year, scarecrows line the streets of Downtown Fredericksburg, bringing the spooky vibes to all who dare to visit! This year was extra special, as the annual Scarecrow Contest celebrated its 10th anniversary, meaning that its contestants had to put their very best hay-filled contenders forward for the trophy. FXBG businesses did not disappoint, bringing fun and frights for all! Voting was extremely close this year, so we send a heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who participated in the contest. We hope to see you again next year!
