2020 Hay, Look at Us! Registration

The Town of Pike Road’s annual hay bale decorating contest, “Hay, Look at Us!” is rolling into town, and all we need to get started is YOU! The Town will provide the hay bale, and you provide the creativity. Gather your Pike Road neighborhood, business, church or service organization, and complete the application (available here: https://bit.ly/3ikTSiZ) by September 25th to participate in this beloved fall tradition. We encourage you to use this opportunity to showcase your team’s unique character as you shape the masterpiece that will be your 2020 Hay, Look at Us! entry. The more people you engage, the more creative you will be, and the more fun we will ALL have!

All registration packets must be completed and returned to Town Hall or Founders Station no later than Friday, September 25th in order to receive a hay bale. Printed application packets are currently available at these locations for your convenience.

*Hay, Look at Us! is a great way to connect with friends and neighbors across the Town of Pike Road. We want to hear what inspired your hay bale and how you worked together to make it happen. So, let us know when you and your team are decorating! We will do our best to stop by and snap a few photos of your teamwork and creative process. We also encourage you to share your pictures and videos with us on social media - just use our hashtag, #mypikeroad, and tag @townofpikeroad on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

Hay, Look at Us! is an ENHANCE Initiative event made possible each year by the Neighborhood Leaders and Community Enrichment committees. We look forward to seeing your fabulous creations around Town this fall.
