A coffee shop owner-operator in Georgia has been setting up scarecrows outside her establishment for a number of years—not to frighten off birds, but for a festive contest to raise community spirit.

Kristy Foreman, 42, who runs Elliano’s Coffee in Waycross, won that event—SwampTown Scarecrows—in 2015, with her scarecrow display depicting the Last Supper. Then, her creative endeavors were put on hold because of the pandemic.
