The Scarecrow Contest

November 4, 2014 by still a dreamer

Scarecrow-Bride2Take a walk with me … on the pebbled brick paths through Peddler’s Village … and see what we found along the way to the carousel.

Each year the merchants hold a scarecrow contest, and in front of each shop or restaurant is a scarecrow – or two or three – which is their entry. Although I know there are different entry levels, as I noticed some were the handiwork of children, I don’t know much else. I was just appreciating the creativity of those who put these amazing, sometimes funny and sometimes scary, scarecrows together.

So come and dawdle along, and here are a few of the ones that caught my fancy.

Both the above sat on hay bales outside the shop’s window.

This maître d’ stood outside one of the well-known restaurants.

The scarecrows may have been the main attraction, but every shop was completely decked out for Fall.

And what a fetching bride she was!

    What creativity. And fun sights! I’m thinking I like the bride best. But the knight and the waiter both have attitude and strike a great pose.

      I’m with you on the bride … so innocent and creepy at the same time. 🙂

    Great pics! Lots of great work, too. My favorite, though, is the pumpkins and mums 😀

      Thanks, Donna! There were probably well over 100 scarecrows – I could have been taking photos non-stop. Those gorgeous mums were just everywhere – all of Peddler’s Village looked so lovely. Here’s a link – I am also adding it to the post – I see I forgot.) http://www.peddlersvillage.com

          It really is a nice place to go to – they have great seasonal things to do and decorations all year `round, plus really nice shops with unique stuff. It was the first time I’ve been in quite awhile.
