Thanks to our creative neighbors, we had four fun entries this year!

Cast your vote for your favorite SABA Scarecrow HERE by Saturday, 11/12. 

A beautiful day in the neighborhood is also a beautiful day to build a scarecrow! 

Is your front yard looking lonely? Are you looking for a new use for that old shirt? Have any extra newspaper laying around? Keep the birds away from your crops while making a spooky statement! Enter the SABA scarecrow contest! 

You can build your own scarecrow with materials you have on hand: an old button-down shirt, pants, gloves, plastic milk container, stockings, plastic bag. Old newspaper or leaves can be used as stuffing. Old broomsticks work well as a scarecrow frame, or try sitting your scarecrow down on an old chair or bike. You’re only limited by your own creativity! Your scarecrow can be scary, classic, or have its own theme…maybe you'll make a scarecrow family! Scarecrow-making tutorials can be found online if you need some ideas.  Last year’s winner is shared above. 

To join the contest, submit your information HERE by midnight, November 5. 

Check back here to vote on this year's winners! Winners will receive gift cards to local businesses, plus bragging rights. Can't wait to see your scarecrow!

On Monday, July 4th, we'll be holding our annual South Ardmore Independence Day celebration! We estimate that this event has been a part of our neighborhood for the past 60 years.

The event begins with a parade of bikes, strollers and wagons decked out in red, white and blue, leaving from Chestnutwold Elementary at 10am. We will wind our way through the neighborhood, go up Morris Rd., and end up at Elwell Field, where kids can compete in the "best-decorated" contest and participate in field events and other activities. 

SABA will be selling food throughout the event along with tickets for the Big Splash.  No bottled water will be sold, but if you bring your own water bottle, you can refill it for free.  

Wondering what else to expect? Check out this video assembled by SABA officer Ed Magargee from 2016, and these photos from super-neighbor Emi Lievano in 2019. 

We need volunteers on the day of the event to make it a success! Please sign up to help HERE.  You can sign up for multiple time slots.  You can also contribute items to our SABA Bake Sale table, lend a pop-up tent, or donate other supplies.

There is no rain date for this event. If the weather is questionable, please check our website (www.sabanews.org) or our Facebook page (S.A.B.A. South Ardmore Betterment Alliance) to verify whether we will proceed. 

Can't wait to see you there! ​
