Fill them up and drop off indoor/outdoor plants to Ivoryton Library on May 1! Thank you for your donations! Have extra pots (plastic is great--we are reusing!) lying around? Feel free to drop them off at the library. See you at the Plant & Bake Sale!
The Essex Scarecrow Contest and FestiFall have become a much-loved community tradition, bringing creativity, fun, and local spirit to the Main Streets of Centerbrook, Essex, and Ivoryton each fall! Every year, residents, businesses, and organizations design and build scarecrows to display on lamp posts throughout town. The scarecrows will be on display all October, so stroll the streets, snap photos, and share your favorites! Voting to start online on Saturday, October 3rd at https://essexct.com/scarecrow-contest-2026/ Questions? Email ebotpresident@gmail.com
