SIERRA MADRE SCARECROW 
FESTIVAL 

Plans are in the works for a contest in October 
where residents will recieve “Crow Awards” for 
the most creative scarecorws in the “humorous” 
and “scariest” categories for residents and 
for businesses, for having the most creative 
scarecrow(s) representing their business. 

 Currently plans are for life sized scarecrows 
and according to Executive Director Jackie 
Raymond, “We envision residents and guests 
driving through the town” in a manner similar 
to when people view Christmas or Halloween decorations. 
“It will bring families of Sierra Madre together and promote our 
business.”

 Don’t know how to make a scarecrow? Creative Arts will be 
hosting a FREE Scarecrow Making Workshop at Creative Arts 
Group Saturday, September 15, 2012 from noon to 7 pm, to the 
first 60 families. 

 Workshop participants need to bring clothes and accessories for 
their scarecrow. Everything else will be provided. These scarecrows 
are life-size, so bring appropriate items. You might want to 
bring pants or stockings to create legs and gloves to create hands 
for your scarecrow. 

 The workshop is free, but you must register (626-355-8350) 
LIMITED ENROLLMENT. To participate in the contest applications 
are due on September 25th. Scarecrows will be displayed

ASCENSION CHURCH HOSTS “MINISTRY 
CELEBRATION” SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 16TH

Episcopal Church of the Ascension, 25 East Laurel Avenue in Sierra 
Madre will be celebrating its annual start of Fall season with the 
“Ministry Celebration” on Sunday, September 16th following the 
Mass at 9:30 a.m. 

All are welcome and encouraged to this festival of ministries, which 
features decorated booths that illustrate various church ministries 
in serving the needy, spreading God’s word, educating children, 
making music and worshipping God. Other opportunities include 
feeding the hungry, attending to the sick and visiting shut-ins as well 
as assisting the homeless. Daughters of the King and Cursillo will 
also have information available. The Church’s ministries are great 
ways to give back and share in opportunities of fellowship at Church 
of the Ascension. Refreshments will be served. 

The event will provide an opportunity to learn about Christian 
Education at Ascension Church including sign-ups for Children’s 
Sunday School (Catechesis), Young People’s Ministries and for adults 
to learn about small groups which begin meeting in October. Small 
Groups meet between church services in Parish or Hawks Hall. 

This event makes for a wonderful family outing to meet new 
neighbors and check out a wonderful community church. For more 
information, please call (626) 355-1133 or visit: www.ascension-
