ACE is thrilled to be celebrating our 11th Anniversary of this beloved Andover tradition from October 14th to October 28th on Main Street in downtown Andover! Our theme this year is When I Grow Up, I Want To Be…The children of our community are our future; scientists, educators, artists and engineers, our kids truly can do anything. This year’s scarecrows will represent the aspirations of the generation after ours; we hope to see creative musicians, happy world travelers, and brilliant scientists as we drive and stroll through Andover this fall. Community members are invited to stroll along Main Street and enjoy the scarecrows for the two-week festival. As in past years, ACE will host an ongoing, self-paced scavenger hunt and a kick off event on Saturday, October 14th in front of Old Town Hall from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
