Scarecrow Campaign: Just a thought -might be fun for Columbia Barry Jones writes: Good evening Ed. I was watching WBKO tonight and noted they have a Scarecrow Trail at Lost River. I thought it might be fun if Columbia Magazine promoted a Scarecrow Campaign for Columbia and Adair Co. It might spur a little creative thinking and might even stick for a yearly event. Scarecrows are fun and if a sponsor could be found a prize might be offered for people who wanted to sign up officially. Otherwise just put a scarecrow up for the Halloween season and try to promote participation. What do you think of this half-thought idea? - Barry JonesSounds like fun - Might even be better to just do - spontaneously, without the contest. Maybe neighbors in one community could do it. Maybe a newspaper or a CM could take photos and interview and word of mouth could get it going and have something really real - without a need to sell "Scarecrow Week" ads, as we media people love to do. - EW 2013-10-09 03:47:05 | Comments | Printable version
