Every year for over 25 years Meaford has hosted the Scarecrow Invasion, a six week festival marked by numerous scarecrows decorating the downtown. Most of the work is done by an enthusiastic group of volunteers, but households are also encouraged to participate. I'll show you some examples after we see what's downtown.
The history behind the scarecrows certainly helps keep it going.
The main display downtown is of a wedding, a couple tying the knot on a beautiful sunny day!
There is also a Maid of Honour, of course.
And a minister to declare the couple happily married.
And an audience leaning together to watch the ceremony.
Not all weddings have court jesters, but this one does.
And another group peering into a crystal ball.
I don't know who this character is meant to be, but I do love her hair! More tomorrow.
These are incredibly cool.
ReplyDeleteFun to see all the different scarecrows. Very creative.
ReplyDeleteI had forgotten that our town did something like that for a year or two. Pretty sure they did not continue unless I’v just been out of the loop.
ReplyDeleteAwesome festival.
ReplyDeleteI remember your scarecrow invasion!! There always seem to be new ideas that folks create. Lots of fun.
