Families, neighborhoods, businesses, churches and schools are invited to make scarecrows and decorate Bryson City for the fall season.
The fee is $25 to participate, with proceeds going to the Swain County Public Schools Foundation, which awards teacher grants and scholarships for Swain High School students. The top three winning scarecrows will be on display at the Chili Fest in Bryson City on Oct. 20.
Applications are available at the Swain County Public School Central Office or the Bryson City Chamber of Commerce and are due by Oct. 1.

The scarecrows are coming to Bryson City from Oct. 6 through Oct. 20.
Here they are, books yammering for review: a hillock of books on the floor by the desk; more books stacked on the desk itself, squeezed between a basket of spectacles and a coffee cup filled with pens and pencils, the cup itself bearing Jefferson’s remark, “I cannot live without books;” two more books for review keeping company in the trunk of my car; a lone rider of a book on the arm of the sofa by the porch door.
