H.O.P.E. will be selling baked goods and bottled water, with all proceeds going to the organization.
Also planned: Face-painting, a dulcimer-playing musician, dances exhibited by a gypsy caravan, mini-pumpkin painting.
Saturday's attendees get a chance to vote in the People's Choice Award, which will be presented to the winning scarecrow display at the end of the day.
