The Scarecrow Festival has been around since 2005. It was the brain child of Gary Knapp, the late husband of Loey Knapp, who was a leader in the Stevensville Art and Sculpture Society (SASS). SASS sponsored the event for several years until Gary’s passing, when the Stevensville Main Street Association adopted and sponsored it until 2019.

After a hiatus in 2020 due to COVID-19, the 2021 Scarecrow Festival resumed under the leadership of Gretchen Spiess and Loey Knapp of River’s Mist Gallery and Gifts Artists’ Co-op and Coding for Kids, which was the fiscal sponsor.

The current Festival is led by a volunteer committee, with fiscal sponsorship by Project 59870 – the charitable arm of the Stevensville Civic Club.
