Scarecrow Festival

The Covington Old Town Festival started in 1983, featuring old fashioned arts and crafts, music, and a variety of artists. It ran for several years, then started to fade out. However, its most popular event, the Scarecrow Contest, took on a life of its own as the Scarecrow Festival, running for an additional few years. Here's a video of some of the Scarecrow Festival activities in the early 1990's.
