ArtsQuest recently announced the winners of its fourth annual scarecrow competition at SteelStacks in Bethlehem. This year’s competition featured entries in three categories: Contemporary Scarecrow, Traditional Scarecrow and Rockin’ Scarecrow.
Among the winners is a Catasauqua resident.
Traditional winners were: first place “Forrest Run,” by Carole Henning, of Schnecksville; second place “Hollow Tree Inn,” also by Henning; and “#lovelocal” by Fig Bethlehem.
Contemporary winners were: first place “RecyCrow,” by Sarah Brown, of Bethlehem; and second place “Rosie,” by Frank Sattler, of Bethlehem.
Rockin’ (music-themed) winners were: first place “Clarabell, the Moosic Star,” by Colleen Williams, of Catasauqua; and second place “Animal,” by Mary M. Sedlock, of Bethlehem.
Winners took home cash prizes up to $150, and scarecrows were on display from mid-September through the end of Oktoberfest at SteelStacks, where the public voted for their favorite submissions.
