    The first Fall Fun Scarecrow Trail was held Friday, October 20 and was sponsored by the Camp Joy Church youth group “RISE”.

    Lee Cossairt and Dennis and Jami Audo opened their property to host this event for the community. There were 28 church youth being the “cutest” Scarecrows on the trail. Twelve adults also helped with the event. Several volunteers came out to help, and donated candy and prizes.
