Last weekend we hosted our third annual Scarecrow Festival. We always hold this event on the weekend of Canadian Thanksgiving because it is such a fun activity for people spending time with their families.
The weather was absolutely gorgeous, sunny and warm, with brilliant fall colours all around us.
When people arrive at the farm they are provided with a cross-shaped wooden frame on which to make their scarecrow. We give them a little bit of instruction, and send them to the barn so they can rummage through mountains of clothes to dress their scarecrows.
Then they head back outside to dress and stuff their creations.
Before long, some wonderful characters start to emerge...
... Such as "Eunice", who apparently "works in HR"...
And this dentally-challenged chap who, er, likes to get high...
Sure, there are your shifty types...
...And your basically beautiful big families...
...And all kids just look insanely cute against a background of straw...
...And then there's some families who just love their kids so much that even their scarecrows have to have babies!
