Name: McNutt Family Business or group: Best Western Location of scarecrow: In front of the hotel, 10087 Highland Rd Theme of entry: Heads in Beds Some calendar confusion led Best Western general manager Pauline McNutt to get a late start to the Hartland Heritage Day scarecrow contest. But thanks to her family's help — her son Gary, daughter-in-law Tammy, and 12-year-old grandson Mason — two new scarecrows became guests Friday at the hotel out front of the lobby building. A bed gives two heads — which are plugged in to light up at night — have a place to stay. The contest ends Friday, but McNutt, like several other in the contest, plan to keep up the scarecrows for awhile longer. "There's a lot of people who drive from the Arby's and use …

Name: Gregg Schkade Business or group: Hartland Deerfield Fire Authority Location of scarecrow: On ladder in front of main fire station, 3205 Hartland Rd Theme of entry: 9/11 Tribute The ladder-climbing fire firefighter raising the American flag was a hard sight to miss driving along Hartland Road this past week.

Name: Staff at Big Boy Business or group: Hartland Big Boy Location of scarecrow: In the waiting area of the restaurant, 10587 Highland Rd Theme of entry: Big Boy From buying the clothes from the area Salvation Army and an Elvis wig from a Halloween store to sewing on red patches and using curling irons and hairspray — it was a team effort in building the scarecrow at the Hartland Big Boy, said owner Jean Shaieb.

Name: Alex McFarland Business or group: Waldenwoods Resort & Conference Center Location of scarecrow: Entrance of Waldenwoods, 2975 N. Old U.S. 23 Theme of entry: Historical figure With 20th century industrial titans such as Henry Ford forever linked with Waldenwoods' early years, staff member Alex McFarland choose to concentrate on history for its scarecrow. “My first thought was to do Thomas Edison since we actually have some history with Thomas Edison out here at Waldenwoods,” McFarland said. “But there wasn’t a specific image that would have been recognizable so I decided to go with Ben Franklin instead.” Franklin's ties to electricity also fit Waldenwoods founder, J. Robert Crouse, who's legacy as business owner was to encourage …
