There's something about scarecrows and Halloween, isn't there! There's always the feeling that one of them might come to life and start harassing the neighbourhood! A few years ago, in the village of Shillington, near where I live, they had a scarecrow festival. People there made scarecrows and put them in their gardens for others to come and see. I went along and I was very impressed with their efforts. We were given a sheet with details of the exhibits and encouraged to vote for the one we thought was the best.
Walking round the village had an eerie feel to it. Almost the first one we saw was exhibit number 31, see above, which portrayed a very creepy pumpkin head man. It must have taken ages to make this one up.
Here are some more:
This last one really did come to life and walked down the street right past us!
After we had looked at all the wonderful exhibits, we had tea and cakes in the village hall and admired all the goods on sale. It was a lovely afternoon.
