Registration Opens  for Cross Creek Ranch Scarecrow Contest

(Fulshear, TX – Aug. 15, 2017)      —        Creative teams can begin spinning straw into gold — championship gold that is — as registration is now open for the Cross Creek Ranch Scarecrow Contest, centerpiece of the 8th annual Scarecrow Festival, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 21.

2016 Scarecrow Festival
Registration is now open for the annual Cross Creek Ranch Scarecrow Festival, an event that is going for the gold this year with its “Scarecrowlmpics” theme. Sign up online at https://www.crosscreektexas.com/scarecrowfest.

Creative teams in peak condition will go for the gold — and a $1,000 grand prize — in the annual scarecrow-decorating contest being held in the Fulshear community, 6450 Cross Creek Bend Lane. Second place finishers receive $500 and third place wins $250.

“This year’s theme is the Olympics, but we are encouraging our participants to create champions from any sport,” said Rob Bamford, general manager for Cross Creek Ranch. “The scarecrows are amazing. Every year contestants come up with creations that are even better and more elaborate than the year before. We also host a terrific carnival because the Scarecrow Festival is all about family fun.”

Activities worthy of Olympic champions will include carnival rides, music, food trucks, a variety of performances and free activities including bobbing for apples, face painting and pumpkin decorating for kids. The festival is free and open to the public; however, all-day carnival tickets are $10 per person for unlimited rides. Proceeds benefit Arts Fulshear and the Texana Center.

New this year is a Best of Living tent where prospective homebuyers will be able to meet with award-winning builders in Cross Creek Ranch to see the spectrum of floor plans, architectural styles, incentives and upgrades available. More information and registration forms can be found at https://www.crosscreektexas.com/scarecrowfest.

The Scarecrow Festival is one of several anticipated Fulshear-area events that are held in Cross Creek Ranch. Homes in the community are priced from the $220,000s
