The Friends of the Texas Historical Commission are sponsoring, on the site's behalf, a new fundraiser. We are hoping it will be a hit with the community and something that will occur annually!
What is the fundraiser? It is....Scarecrows-on-the-Fence Competition and Exhibition! Entry fees per scarecrow are $20 and any resident, group, business or community organization can enter. The entry deadline is September 30, 2017. All entered scarecrows will be displayed on the site's fences from October 1 to November 15. Anyone in town can stop by to gaze at these one-of-a-kind creations! Prizes will be given for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place! Don't miss out on helping the site and giving your fellow citizens something fun to look at during the fall.
Funds raised from this event will help us conserve the Starr Family portraits and new programs.
