Special to the Caloosa Belle
LABELLE -- The annual Scarecrows on the Wharf contest was sponsored by LaBelle Downtown Revitalization Corporation (LDRC) and MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) of LaBelle.
This event was open to local businesses, families, organizations, schools, and youth groups. The fun competition consisted of each entrant crafting custom-made scarecrows to be displayed on the wharf near the Barron Library on DeSoto Avenue.
