Have you noticed some new Bluffton "residents" loitering along Main Street and Cherry? The Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring a Scarecrow Decorating Contest that has enticed some 30 businesses to decorate the village's downtown area with a cast of curious characters.

The scarecrows and other three-dimensional decorations are attached to lamp posts along Main Street, as well as along storefronts and in store windows.
