Branchville. As Halloween approaches, it’s the perfect time to stroll this year’s scarecrow entries in the quaint town of Branchville. Its scarecrow contest was the idea of contest organizers Jeanne and Brad Heinke, who discovered a similar contest on a visit to Massachusetts. It is Branchville’s fifth annual contest, and the clever creativity of residents and the town’s business owners shines brightly.
