Get your bad ole self out of West L.A. and hang out where property is cheap and city buses stop in the general vicinity of the mall. In other words, your horse is waiting. With the small taste of fall this week, the county's creative sector should be further motivated to make scarecrows for the Fall Scarecrow Contest on Ocala's downtown square. Organizers will accept entry forms through today. The contest is a fund-raiser for the county's Salvation Army, which is always in need of help as the days grow cooler.
Entry is free.
Scarecrows will be displayed on the square Oct. 27 and 28.
