Newtown Parks and Recreation is inviting individuals, families, businesses, sports teams and organizations to participate in a Scarecrow contest.  It's being held at Fairfield Hills throughout the month.  Interested participants can send in an application to adopt a Fairfield Hills lamp post.  Residents who would just like to vote on favorites, can print out a ballot and put it in the ballot box located in the vestibule at 8 Simpson Street.
