Scarecrow Scavenger Hunt Rules

All-Around Town Scarecrow Scavenger Hunt Rules

Ewing’s 2022 Scarecrow Scavenger Hunt consists of 36 scarecrows  displayed at homes, businesses, organizations and public locations around Ewing Township.  Each scarecrow has a name associated with it.   Some of the scarecrows are hidden and some are more out in the open.   Fun and challenging clues will be available to help you in the hunt for each scarecrow.

  1. The Scavenger Hunt will take place from Saturday, October 1st to 4:30 pm, Thursday, October 27th.
  2. To be eligible to be included in the drawings for the grand prize, you must find the scarecrows and their names and submit your ballot by 4:30 p.m., Thursday, October 27th. You may submit your ballot online on our ballot page or drop off your paper ballot at the offices of our community centers.  No entries received after 4:30 pm Oct 27 will be accepted.  Be sure to copy the name of each scarecrow EXACTLY as written on the sign, including case, any punctuation and spacing as entries may be evaluated electronically. 
  3. All participants who find 32 or more scarecrows will earn three entries into our drawing. Participants who find between 27 – 31 scarecrows will earn two entries into the drawing.
