Name the Store This Scarecrow is Protecting

The Todos Santos Business Association lit the bat signal, bringing more than a dozen superheroes to Concord for Halloween.


With arms spread wide, scarecrows embraced downtown Concord on Thursday, bringing a playful air to the heart of the city. Some were so small they stood on tables, so they could stand eye to eye with people. Another stood tall enough to fill a firefighter's uniform, while casually cradling a pet in the crook of its arm. Chuck Norris would be proud.

The scarecrows are part of the Todos Santos Business Association’s annual Halloween Scarecrow competition. The theme this year is superhero. Downtown businesses erected the pumpkin-headed men in storefronts, dressed in superhero outfits, where they will stand until Halloween Day. (Is it me, or does one look like a print out of Ryan Reynolds?)
