2022 Scarecrow Festival
We had a fantastic turnout for this year’s Scarecrow Festival — our 14th!
It was so special to see so many people exploring our trails — families being guided by their youngsters to search out the scarecrows.
We’ll be announcing the amount of money we raised soon, after it’s been confirmed and the charities notified.
Our photo gallery of all of this year’s entries is now available, along with the answers for each scarecrow?
(We’ve added it to our Facebook page too!)
