A local annual Halloween tradition returned to Richmond last week.
Businesses in Steveston began displaying their spooky one-of-a-kind scarecrows on Oct. 1 for the month-long Steveston Scarecrow Festival.
Creations include an adorable rat pumpkin farm by winner of the 2021 and 2022 crawls, Prickly Pear Garden Centre,and 2020 winner Laara's Vacuums' vacuum cleaners dolled-up in Minion attire.
Community members will also see other creations such as a scary creature decked out in plastic waste items guarding the Gulf of Georgia Cannery, and Esther Smith, a female passenger at the Steveston Tram named after Judy Garland's character in Meet Me in St. Louis.
The event will run from now until Tuesday, Oct. 31. For more information, visit .
