We arrived this morning at our office to find the Scarecrow that we had painstakingly built and nurtured in in a heap on the ground with his round pumpkin head bashed all over the sidewalk. Was this murder? Was it premeditated, or a crime of opportunity? or plain ignorance and vandalism?

We revisited the scarecrow idea to help the Griswold Youth Center raise funds. people in town could vote in favor of our scarecrow or the others throughout town by placing money in the collection jar in the office.

There are those out there that just don't care that other people worked hard on something to benefit others. They just need to destroy.
He brought joy to those who knew him. His job was to put a smile on peoples' faces, and in that job he succeeded. He will also serve to remind us that doing things for the community, will always be the right thing to do. We just need to keep moving forward. Keep on swimming.
Vandals may have destroyed our Scarecrow, but they have not destroyed our Community Spirit.
We believe that there is Magic in your Smile and with that note, may we all have a safe and happy fall season.
Just Sayin'
