Judge Lexi Hennen, 7, looks back at her fellow judges as they deliberate during the LaPorte Farms Fall Festival 2nd Annual Scarecrow Contest. Team Sunnycalb’s entry “Pete,” shown here, won first place. Judges said that it was the most frequently visited and photographed and did scare two of the judges. One of the honors of winning first secures its spot in front of LaPorte Farms for the Halloween season. Staff photo: Keith Carson.
