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.

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!

ReplyDeleteBe Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
Those are definitely a very scary bunch of Crows alright!! Well done by the volunteers and well done photos as well.
ReplyDeleteWhat talent ,a huge amount of thought, then the work, love the fellow with a zippered mouth!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun!!
ReplyDeleteThe wheel of time keeps rolling along. Seems like we were just seeing them, but it was last year already.
ReplyDeleteMy step daughter and her husband entered a scarecrow competition in their little village in Derbyshire. And then they brought him into the house and sat him on the sofa. There was literally nowhere comfortable to sit.
ReplyDeleteSo creative!!
ReplyDeleteSome of them are pretty imaginative, others are rather gruesome. A community here in northcentral Pennsylvania does something similar on each lightpole in the main part of downtown.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see such creative fun.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
