Seventeen scarecrows are on display at Historic Smithville Park, and Burlington County residents and visitors can vote for their favorites.

Voting for the annual Scarecrow contest has begun and will continue through Saturday, Nov. 2, when the winners will be announced at 6 p.m. during the county’s Autumn Lands festival at Smithville. The scarecrows are on display along Park and Maple avenues and feature residents’ versions of Dorothy from “The Wizard of Oz” and other movie characters, scarecrow softball players, a firefighter, an Eagles football fan and others.
