This Friday is officially the Scarecrow Festival here in Meaford. It almost collapsed after last year's 25th anniversary, but a new group of volunteers stepped up to lead it, and so it continues. There's a big display downtown, and a few elsewhere, with people encouraged to set up their own displays. Here are a few of the downtown group, which I can easily access.
That is great and the weather is supposed to be so good this weekend for such an event.
ReplyDeleteA fun theme.
ReplyDeleteI could see the people who participate would be so disappointed if they didn't keep the tradition goin. I like the pirates and it is a great treasure chest.
ReplyDeleteThe scarecrow festival here is mid October. Yours was a lovely one!
ReplyDeleteOh what fun! Lots of creativity and imagination on display.
ReplyDeleteThe Scarecrow Festival looks like fun. I like the pirate best of all.
ReplyDeleteThat kind of event is becoming more and more popular in the UK too. There seems to be a human need to make such effigies: during my childhood it was making a "Guy" for Bonfire night, scarecrow making seems to have replaced that old tradition.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy events like this - great photographs.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Well done Meaford. I am not sure if our town will have a display or not. Downtown has been under some revision.
ReplyDeleteI heard that the scarecrow festival was on what a great bunch of pirates and costumes!!
ReplyDeleteA lot of work went into some of those, what a great collection. Since the community's a port, it's quite suitable that there are pirates.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of the Scarecrow Festival. It brings people together and it also brings out the hidden creativity in folks. They have done a good job and I like all the colors.
ReplyDeleteQuite an event!
