'Scarecrows of the Port' Return to City

The display of pumpkin-headed scarecrows will stay up through Nov. 1.

The "Scarecrows of the Port" display is back in Portsmouth.

The pumpkin-headed creatures were erected by volunteers in the downtown area Thursday morning. They will stay up through Nov. 1.

The display is organized by the Scarecrows of the Port Committee, which includes local business associations and other groups. This year will be the sixth season the committee has put up the display.

The group encourages residents and businesses to join in by erecting their own displays.
