The Scarecrow Stroll / Amherst In Gloom 2025

It's time for the famous "SCARECROW STROLL" but this year, it's growing!

This year we are expanding our Scarecrow Stroll and we are encouraging businesses AND residents to take part!! The deadline to sign up will be Friday, October 10th, 2025

Scarecrow Stroll - This will be our sixth annual Scarecrow Stroll, where we encourage businesses to create a "Scarecrow" at their business. We then add all of these locations to a map for our community to tour and to take pictures with! - Keep in mind, there is a competition for best scarecrow!

Amherst in Gloom - "Amherst in Gloom" (a spin on a local initiative "Amherst in Bloom") is for residents who love to decorate their home/yard with Halloween/spooky/fall decor! - Upon summiting your address we will add it to our map for our community to tour!
