The Campbell-Flannagan-Murrell House Museum had fifteen Scarecrows entered into our Scarecrow Contest. You probably saw them all over town and if you are like me, they brought a smile and a feeling of pride for the city of Hinton.

                    Our winner was an upside-down scarecrow by the name of” Haycrow”. He landed on his head at the CFM House Museum. The $100.00 and blue ribbon went to Maddy Thompson, granddaughter of David and Myra Ziegler. Our runner up was “The Chef” who took up residence at The Market. The Chef was created by Stacy Ford’s Family and Holli Lathrum.

                  We at the CFM House would like to thank all the participants in this fun fund raiser. A special thanks goes to the Ford Family and Holli Lathrum who entered three other scarecrows. We’d also like to thank those who helped set up the scenes throughout Hinton and encouraged all to enter the contest.

                  Remember, the CFM House Museum, located at 422 Summers Street in Hinton is available for tours anytime or every Saturday from 1-4 PM. To schedule a tour call 304-660-8093.
