The Plymouth Canton Optimist Club participates in the annual Scarecrows at Kellogg Park in downtown Plymouth, Michigan. Each fall beginning at the end of September, local business and community organizations are invited to create a scarecrow in Kellogg Park.

Later in October, the community comes together to select their favorite scarecrow and enjoy cider and doughnuts. The Optimist Club scarecrow usually depicts a representation that celebrates club values or work with children..
