Grab your flannel and let’s get crafty with a touch of cornstalk charm—it’s time to build your very own scarecrow from head to toe! You’re invited to our Scarecrow Making Workshop, held at Howell Park in Bremen, Ohio. Whether you’re into classic country charm or scarecrow-chic, you’ll create a one-of-a-kind fall decoration perfect for your porch, garden, or to display in your yard.
Tickets for this special workshop are just $15 plus service fees.
About the Trail of Scarecrows
This fall, we’re inviting communities across Fairfield County and the Buckeye Lake Region to celebrate a huge milestone birthday with this year’s Trail of Scarecrows theme: America 250! Through creative, patriotic scarecrow displays, our scarecrows will be popping up across the county to honor everything we love about the USA.
To help you get in on the fun, we’re kicking things off with a hands-on workshop where you can build your very own scarecrow—just in time to join the trail or decorate your front porch.
You’ll get everything you need to build your own life-size scarecrow, including framing materials and stuffing. Please bring your own wardrobe items like clothing, hats, shoes, scarves, or any other accessories.
🎟️ Space is limited, so don’t delay!
Tickets must be purchased by Monday, September 21st, via the ticket link. Space is limited to only 20 participants. Because sharp tools and following intricate directions will be involved, we kindly ask that participants be age 9 or older. Finished scarecrows can go home with you the same night. Can’t attend this workshop? Learn more about the Trail of Scarecrows and how you can get involved on Visit Fairfield County’s website.

We can’t wait to see your creativity and craftsmanship come to life on Wednesday, September 23rd!

Ohio Goes To The Movies: Superman
2026-09-23 19:30 - 22:00 | Marcus PICKERINGTON CINEMA, 1776 Hill Road North, Pickerington, OH, 43147, United States
Ohio Goes to the Movies™ (OGTTM) is a statewide celebration of movies showcasing Ohioans: actors, directors, writers, composers, locations, and topics, shown in cities and towns across the state.
Marcus Theatre Pickerington presents Superman (2025), Ohio’s most connected Superhero.
Superman (2025) was filmed in Ohio, with major locations state-wide being used to represent Metropolis. The Cleveland Guardians’ Progressive Field stood in as the home of the Meteors, the Cincinnati Museum Center becomes the Hall of Justice (as the original Hall of Justice was designed after it’s grand exterior), and other locations big and small all help bring Superman back to his roots.
Although his in-text backstory has Kal-El born of Krypton and raised in Smallville, Kansas, Superman’s true origins lie upon the shores of Lake Erie, from the minds of Jerry Siegal and Joe Shuster in 1933. These sons of Cleveland sold the rights to Superman in 1938, but they remained connected to the character until their deaths in 1996 and 1992 respectively.
Even the actors hold connections to Ohio, with Hawkgirl portrayed by Cleveland’s own Isabela Merced, who’s acting credits also include Aza Holmes in Turtles All The Way Down (filmed around Cincinnati), Dina in the television adaptation of The Last of Us, and Dora in 2019’s Dora and the Lost City of Gold.
The featured presentation is rated PG-13, so parent discretion is advised.
