Come view the scarecrows and enjoy family fun at the seventh annual Scarecrow Harvest. Enjoy live country music from High Cotton, games of crow-cornhole, hay rides, face painting, historical demos, artsy activities, story-telling and inflatables for the kids.

In conjunction with the Scarecrow Harvest, browse the Alpharetta Farmers Market and participate in a scavenger hunt competition.
