The Scarecrows Invade!

Every year during the months of September and October the scarecrows invade Meaford!  Oh, it's a spooky, scary time with those scarecrows; they seem to emerge out of nowhere.  But you can be sure that behind the scenes there's a group of dedicated volunteers!

This community festival attracts lots of people downtown; the main displays are in the areas around Meaford Hall.  It lasts an entire two months and there's a scarecrow parade in late September.

A couple of eager parents dragging their kid around.

One of the more colourful characters.

This poor thin fellow was hanging in a tree.

This was quite appealing, why I don't know!

This of course was my favourite!  A scarecrow in a wheelchair!

Colourful characters all!  I'm sure it's great fun for the volunteers planning out what face and clothes they'd give their scarecrow!

A fierce viking!
