Root Center Joins Wethersfield's Scarecrows Along Main Each October, Old Wethersfield transforms into a celebration of community, creativity, and fall traditions as more than 100 handmade scarecrows line historic Main Street. Organized by the Old Wethersfield Shopkeepers Association, Scarecrows Along Main brings together local businesses, nonprofits, schools, families, and community organizations in a month-long display that draws visitors from across the region. This year, Root Center for Advanced Recovery was proud to join the tradition with a custom scarecrow inspired by Frida Kahlo. Known for her vibrant artwork, resilience, and dedication to self-expression, Frida served as the perfect inspiration for a display celebrating creativity and individuality. Visitors can find Root Center's scarecrow on Main Street in Old Wethersfield, in front of The Burrow, directly across from Main Street Creamery and Griffith Academy.

Together with our sponsors, volunteers, and community partners, we helped raise more than $23,000 to support Root Center's programs and services. Beyond the funds raised, the day was a celebration of connection, generosity, and the shared belief that everyone deserves access to compassionate behavioral healthcare and recovery support.
