Our little town has a Scarecrow festival every October. It started about five years ago and has grown bigger every year. There are a few people who hate the scarecrows and complain but fortunately they are in the minority. The festival brings in tourist from other neighboring towns and it brings a little business for our local shops. This year there are over 100 scarecrows scattered around town. Here are a few of my favorites this year.
 |
| IN the newspaper it said that one of the founding volunteers for this festival died this year and he made over 20 different scarecrows per year. They memorialize him by making him the leader of the band in this set up. I thought it was really a nice tribute |

| Outside the music store where the kids have their piano lessons |

| outside our favorite Mexican restaurant in town |
 |
| I love this one, which is outside the motorcycle shop:) |
 |
| Lots of business included the Stanley cup theme since STL won last year:) |
 |
| Popeye, Olive and sweet pea! |
There is a voting system going on, so the scarecrow with the most votes wins the trophy this year.
We enjoy walking or driving around town to see who put up a scarecrow. every year the themes seem to change and this year it is more skeletons and the Stanley cup. Some places are very creative:)!!!
