Voting for your favorite will be held online beginning October 20th until 6 am on the 22nd. At that time, the votes will be tallied and taken to the Information Booth at the Fall Harvest Festival where voting will continue throughout the day. Scarecrow Contest Organizer, Jo McConnell, says that the winner of the People's Choice Award in each of the four categories will win "Bragging Rights", a Blue Ribbon, and $100. Once again there will be these 4 categories: Business, Individual, Group, and Children plus the addition of a new category: Artist with a prize of $500.

Come see us in Pendleton and enjoy this family event featuring great music, wonderful food, creative crafts, and old fashioned childrens games. It is a fun day for the whole family but please leave your pets at home.

So, What Makes Pendleton, SC So Special?

History, Hospitality and Happenings

Pendleton Fall Harvest Festival

Pendleton is a small, quaint village nestled in the foothills of South Carolina.  The town was established in 1790 and has preserved much of it's proud past while enjoying the present and planning for the future.  The Town of Pendleton has fewer than 3,000 residents but also claims the many wonderful people in the outlying rural areas.  

It is the people of Pendleton that make it so special.  They care about each other and care about their town.  Volunteers are actively involved in almost all activities that go on in this special place and they do so willingly and with much enthusiasm. 

The Fall Harvest Festival and Scarecrow Contest are sponsored by the Town of Pendleton and organized by a committee of Volunteers and Town Staff.  This year the Clemson Area Chamber of Commerce is joining to help make this the best festival and Scarecrow Contest ever!

We are looking forward to a great weekend and hope that you will join us either by voting online for your favorite scarecrow and being here in person.

What a fun contest. Scarecrows are such a cool thing to create, the homes and yards of the towns people look amazing. :)K

Pendleton, SC reminds me of Royalton, Vt, where we have less than 2,000 caring people who volunteer to help each other and create a tight knit community. I would love to visit Pendleton some year to view all the delightful scarecrows the town members have created. Thank you for sharing.
