Scarecrow Scare
Every year, the town held a Scarecrow Contest. Open to everyone in the town, regardless of age, all of the citizens of Lost Lake were encouraged to create a scarecrow for display on the town green. The contest opened October 1st and continued until Halloween, when the panel of judges would choose the winners. There were plenty of categories for the prizes, from Cutest to Most Colorful to Best in a variety of age-ranges, and - of course - Scariest.
