I'm all Scarecrowed out!!

Yep that's right 100 of um


At the Sheriffhales Scarecrow Festival, its a lovely little village about 5 miles away. They close the roads off to it so you get to walk around without thinking about the cars.

First up was a look around the small animal farm.











Now because the village is closed off  you have to pay to get in, its going towards the cost of the
 new village hall, and they give you a map of the village plus a list of all the scarecrows, there numbers, and what they are called, at the end you vote on the one you like the best and hand it back in, now mom didn't take a photo of the list, so we will let you think what they are called. 
Don't worry there's not 100 photos!!!


























Now we were given three voting papers so the votes went to.

Farmers Friend, voted by mom, she says it cus its close to Halloween and liked his pumkin head
"weird woman"

My Choice, Gok Wan - How to Look Good Naked





Well I liked this one cus, he is wearing just boots and I'm just wearing me bandanny,
and I think I look petty good naked.
As you can see the rain held off and I enjoyed meself. 
I cannot wait for next weeks Saturday steps to show you what steps I was allowed on today : ) 

See Yea George xxx

Wow! That's some scarecrow display! And very creative. Those folks take their scarecrows pretty seriously, huh? We're a fan of the Mr. Potato Head one. Thanks for sharing these.

I do love a good scarecrow festival and I have to say that this is the best one I've ever "gone to" yet! I love to look at anything that is all dressed up and nowhere to go and my vote goes to Mr. Potato Head and it looks like the Road Dog Tales peeps are in agreement.
I did think it was funny that you liked the naked scarecrow and I agree that you look fantastic naked too!
What a fun post...loved it!

Hello Georgie,
however, this is a very interesting and amusing idea. Scarecrows competition!
Mummy must tell this sometimes in our village club!
You have approached very courageously to all figures!

I like your new Blogoutfit

George mi man...you get around!!!! What fun your country must be! I WANT TO GO THERE!!!! Have you ever seen the movie, HOT FUZZ? Do you live near that village?

Lola and also Franklin, too said...

Oh, what fun! I think we kind of favor the Mr. Potato Head scarecrow for fun and the Chewbacca one for being really scary for the crows. They all looked good to us, though.

lotsa licks, Lola

sprinkles said...

Those are some pretty cool scarecrows! Sometimes the children here will make scarecrows as a school project. They'll sit in businesses for a little while and then people bid on them. None of them are nearly as fancy as these though and I don't know what the money goes to, probably the school.

George, please tell your mom thank you for her comment today. I do check out her Jan's Eye View blog from time to time but there's no comments available there so she might not know. She has some beautiful pictures on there and I think I know just which ones she was talking about. Thanks for the offer.

TwoSpecialWires said...

How very cool! We'd like to have seen all 100 of them! Autumn Festivals have to be the very best ever! You sure seemed to enjoy it ... we liked seeing you peer at all those funny scarecrows! Our favorite? Maybe the last one you photographed, the TV EcoKing. He looks exactly like the guy on the poster! Great mustache. Sort of like a few Dales we know!

Looking forward to your next adventures. They are always fun to go on with you!
Jake and Fergs xxoo

You are very brave to get so close to those scary things. I probably would have barked at all of them :o)))
