Halloween Gets Creative for a COVID-Safe Celebration

• Q: Why did the scarecrow win an award?
• A: Because it was outstanding in its field.

Now that we got the bad joke out of the way.... let's celebrate the scarecrows who were truly outstanding in Mission Terrace!

For the past few years, the Mission Terrace Halloween Trick-or-Treating and festivities was becoming a true destination. So this year, when COVID struck, it didn't keep this community down. True-to-form, NMTIA and the neighborhood created a unique event where Halloween could still be celebrated, while maintaining safe distances. 

Houses set up scarecrows, a google-map was created for people to walk around the neighborhood, check out the scarecrows, and vote for their favorites. Winners donned a sash and prizes were given. For a sampling of the crows, see below.
