Every year, merchants in Steveston are encouraged to build their own scarecrows and join the Steveston Scarecrow Crawl competition as a way to promote their businesses and win cash prizes.

Despite COVID-19, 25 businesses

Laaras Vacuums’ Wizard of Oz scarecrow group plus an additional scarecrow with Dr. Bonnie Henry’s face taped to its face took home the grand prize of $1,000 in this year’s competition.

While around 50 merchants normally join the competition, 25 joined in this year’s scarecrow battle despite COVID-19.

Placing second was A Monkey Tree’s kind bee scarecrow, while Pierside Deli’s upside down scarecrow and Splash Toy Shop’s “where the wild things are” monster scarecrow tied for third place.
