75th Anniversary Award
The District of Invermere is celebrating 75 years, and this year we’re adding a special 75th Anniversary Award!
Some participating scarecrows have chosen to take part in this special award. As you follow the tour, look for the District of Invermere 75th Anniversary logo attached to participating scarecrows. The logo identifies the scarecrows eligible for the award.
The 75th Anniversary Award celebrates a scarecrow that captures the spirit of Invermere’s 75 years through its creativity and connection to our history, community, landmarks, people or local stories.
Prize: $75 gift certificate to a local business of the winner’s choice.
Winners will be announced Thursday, October 15.
Have fun exploring Invermere, checking out the scarecrows and celebrating our community’s creativity!
Vote here for your favourites: One vote per person.
