Harpole Scarecrow Festival - Pictures
Hi, thought you might like to see a few pictures of the Harpole Scarecrow Festival that we went to on Saturday. The money raised goes to help the village community. Various villagers opened up their front gardens to sell drinks and cakes and everyone who went appeared to be having a great time, with lots of oooh's and aaah's at the scarecrows.
Terrific fun arn't they. I took loads more pictures as all the scarecrows were terrific. I especially loved Toad of Toad Hall in his car. The car was made out of cardboard, so clever.

Hi Nettie! What a fun thing to have in the community! So many varieties of scarecrows. Wish we had something like that here. Oh well. Have a fabulous time with your nephews! Hugs xo ~ Rhonda :-)
OH my goodness!!! I love all the scarecrows you took pictures of!!! They are all so unique and creative! Your weekend sounded so lovely. I would have loved going from house to house and checking out all the wonderful scarecrows. Thanks for sharing all the pictures you took! Thank you, too Annette, for the lovely comment you sent me on Facebook. I wanted you to know that I got it and I really appreciated it!<3 Candy
What a wonderful way to celebrate community artistic abilities. Those scarecrows are absolutely fabulous!
Hope you have a lovely time with your nephews.sex addiction
what an inspiration. All the scarecrows are very creative. Trick or Treating seems to be a dieing tradition in the US. No longer do we see kids going from door to door as in the past..at least not in my neighborhood. I used to decorate just like those villagers but not so much anymore with the lack of kids..of course...there are the grown up kids that might like to see them! LOL Thanks for posting.
Cool, thanks for sharing.
Hi Annette
I hope you are well. My new school is taking up all of my time at the moment and I love it, but I am missing my crafting and blogging buddies.
I love these pics - what fun and some great inspiration in them too.
Thanks for staying in touch and take care.
luv and hugs {brenda} xoxox
Oh how fun!! Those are too cute. Hope you are doing well. Hugs, Kim

Victoria
oh gosh what fantastic photos,hun they are just amazing would have been great to see them,in real life they all look amazing hugs cherylxxxxx
Wow I love these scarecrows, I love the Desparate Dan one. There's a vilage in Yorkshire that has a similar thing and there was once one with a body sticking out from under a car on the drive -toooo realistic!! lol x
Looks like a lot of fun. Love the Dennis the Menace and Desperate Dan scarecrows! They should auction them off afterwards to raise more money!
these are so much fun!!!!
