Move that way a little ... wait ... OK, looks good! This scarecrow in front of Illinois Valley Surveying and Consultants Inc. in Hennepin seems to be directing a coworker. A scarecrow decorating contest is being held in conjunction with Hennepin’s annual Harvest Home Celebration on Sept. 20. Scarecrows will be judged as either business or household with a trophy for the business winner and $40 to the household winner. Business and organization scarecrows should be representative of the owners’ interests. The festival, a tradition in Hennepin for more than 100 years, includes a parade, music and activities for the entire family. This year’s celebration theme is “Out in the Field,” and floats will be judged for following the theme. Food booths and craft sales will also be open for guests attending one of the last festivals of the summer of 2014. IVS photo/Ken Schroeder
