The family of scarecrows that has made a home in Vineyard Haven can’t manage to scare people away. Main street has been jammed with cars that slow to a snail’s pace as drivers and passengers check out Tisbury’s Halloween visitors.

These hay-bodied creatures arrived at shops, banks and restaurants compliments of a program at the Martha’s Vineyard Public Charter School. The school sponsors a scarecrow contest to benefit its art program.
