Jann Mirkov, Executive Director with Main Street: Greeneville said, “We would encourage people to head into downtown Greeneville to see the displays, take selfies and vote for your favorites in all the different categories. The arts and creativity are alive and well here. I have the best view from my office window watching adults placing children into the displays to capture just the right fall photo. That is a bonus to the contest. Thank you to our contest sponsor, Broyles General Store, the businesses, groups, and individuals who help us enjoy autumn. Come see the scarecrows, pick your favorites, and vote at https://forms.gle/NQVmKq9yFjZjpfUw6 .”
