Backstory

Meet Patch, a lovable scarecrow with button eyes, a stitched-up smile, a crooked old hat, and a heart bigger than the cornfield he calls home!

For years, Patch stood alone beneath the changing seasons, watching the world pass him by and dreaming of something more. Everything changed when a young skateboarder named Steven Diaz showed him that life is full of possibilities, even for an old scarecrow.

Now, with a skateboard beneath his feet and a brand-new halfpipe in his beloved cornfield, Patch is discovering the joy of friendship, adventure, and chasing dreams he never knew he could have.

He may be made of burlap, straw, and a few crooked stitches, but Patch reminds us that it’s never too late to try something new, find your courage, and discover what makes you special.

Patch’s motto: “Even a scarecrow can learn to fly!”
