The Roswell Woman’s Club (RWC) announced today that its 2024 BOO Y’aLL Scarecrow Contest and Sip & Stroll events successfully raised almost $20,000 to support education and nonprofits in North Fulton County.

The month-long scarecrow display along historic Canton Street culminated with the announcement of winners in four categories. The 1920 Tavern took top honors in the Business and Merchant Category, while the Children’s Development Academy secured the win for Schools and Teams. The Roswell Historical Society claimed victory in the Nonprofit and Club Category, and Aileen Murphy won the Individual, Family and Neighborhood Category.

“These community events bring together the people of Roswell and North Fulton County while raising much-needed funds for deserving nonprofit and teacher grant recipients, as well as student scholarships,” said Roswell Woman’s Club President Leigh Ann Buelow. “The creativity and enthusiasm shown by all participants made this year’s events particularly special. This annual event aligning Canton Street with sponsored scarecrows has become a cornerstone event for our community.”
