Middletown Scarecrows

In the continuing effort to add to my “preferred customer” grocery cards we decided to head to the Saveway in Middletown, MD. This proved both frustrating and interesting.  It was frustrating because Middletown has begun the long anticipated Streetscape Project with the State Highway Administration. The town will be updated with new sidewalks, new pavement and gutters, landscaping down the entire Main Street (Route 40A) and a new water main. This is projected to be a two-year project.  It was interesting because the downtown is lined with scarecrows.  The town hands out scarecrow kits and then collects the assembled scarecrows for display on Main St.  This year was probably a little tougher with tourist navigating the construction but it got our attention and we were able to park and take the walking tour.  There are some very imaginative designs and it made a nice way to pass an afternoon.
