Two-year-old Gemma was all smiles as she and her mom Emily Rosecrans of Barrington stuffed a makeshift scarecrow.

The event, emceed by Bob the DJ, featured free pumpkins, scarecrow decorating, pony rides, face painting, and other family activities throughout the day.

The event was sponsored by the village of Barrington, Barrington Youth & Family Services, Heninen's and Bob the DJ.
