Kalona businesses are being invited to create scarecrows that will be auctioned off next month. The Kalona Chamber of Commerce is organizing the first Parade of Scarecrows that will coincide with the Fall Festival on September 26th. According to chamber director Renee Pickard, scarecrows can be made by the business or by a local artist. Pickard says help can be requested by calling the chamber office. Proceeds from the auction at the Fall Festival will benefit Food For All, the organization that sponsors Kalona’s summer lunches.
