Socorro Tapia photographs “La Catrina Creida,” in front of Rio de Ojas recently in the Claremont Village. Terri and Ray Riojas, created “Catrina” as part of a citywide event called the Claremont Scarecrow Party which is sponsored by the Claremont Chamber of Commerce. To participate simply create your own scary or whimsical scarecrow and then register it with the chamber. An interactive map on the chamber’s website will make it easy to see the scarecrows others have made. Look for a complete story in our next edition. COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff
