Saline Scarecrow Contest contribution by Salt Springs Brewery

Photograph Saline Scarecrow Contest Entries Downtown at Night (If You Dare)

September 19, 2016
The fifth annual Saline Scarecrow Contest runs October 1 through 31 throughout downtown Saline. There are rules for participations of course.
