Virtual Fall Scarecrow contest
LET'S GET READY FOR SOME FALL FUN!!
The North Pocono Cultural Society is happy to announce another fun virtual event for our communities during this time of social distancing. We would like to encourage the young people of the North Pocono community to participate in our very first Virtual Scarecrow contest by making a scarecrow not to exceed five (5) feet in height. The scarecrows must be tasteful in their design and not include any political themes. The North Pocono Cultural Society reserves the right to reject any entries that do not meet the criteria of good taste and decorum.
There will be three age categories: 5-10, 11-14, and 15-18, who are eligible to compete and we are excited that many of our North Pocono communities are participating. Contact your township office to see if they are joining in the fun.
The deadline for submissions to your township is Saturday, October 24, 2020. Each municipality is encouraged to display their entries at their own municipal building through Thanksgiving. The municipal leaders will then choose the top three from those entries to submit to the North Pocono Cultural Society for judging by a panel of judges to be determined.
The prize for the top scarecrow in each of the three age categories will be a $50.00 Amazon gift card. Photos of all top scarecrows from each municipality will be featured in a virtual scarecrow contest video on the North Pocono Cultural Society Facebook page. Winners will be announced on the Cultural Society's Facebook page and on its website at northpoconoculturalsociety.org on Friday, November 13th!

Support the Arts in Our Community
Dear Neighbors,
We are in the middle of a world wide pandemic. The North Pocono Cultural Society continues to strive to bring educational, cultural, and artistic events to our neighborhoods while providing scholarship funds for art, music and drama to graduating students of North Pocono High School. With our in person events cancelled for 2020 we've lost some of our fundraising ability.
Please support our efforts and make a donation today.
