The Scarecrows are coming…
So many parishioners have expressed sadness at there being no Village Day last year and that the Scarecrows were not present the year before, so we are really happy to share with you that they are back this year!
The Scarecrows will be vying with each other to win the OSCARecrowS, with separate awards voted by both “older” and “younger” judges.
Please join in the fun and build a scarecrow – the more the merrier. If you don’t want to make a scarecrow, why not host one from outside of the village? Visiting scarecrows can either congregate at Scarecrow Corner or spend the day at a hotel along the village scarecrow trail.
Expect some old favourites around the green, such as the Maypole Dancing and the Dog Show. New, hopefully soon to be favourite, attractions will include a Bird of Prey Display and the Human Fruit Machine. Parish organisations and groups will again be taking part, with more stalls and games for all of the family to enjoy – you’ve probably ‘splat a rat’, but have you ever ‘milked a cow’?
If you’d like to enter a scarecrow, host someone else’s, have a stall and/or help on the day – please e-mail the PNS, use the Contact Us form with a general enquiry or call 434033.
