Last week, I had the pleasure of reading the delightful The Twelve Ways of Fall at Reinventing the We’ll.
Scarecrows at the campfire
So I was inspired to share the sightings of our town as we celebrated Pumpkin Fest. For the last few years we have been putting up scarecrows as a part of the festivities. The contest is judged on Friday and when the scarecrows come down on Sunday the fest is over for another year.
I got out and took a few pics of winning scarecrows, fun scarecrows and a few decorated pumpkins. And here they are:
Fancy Lady Scarecrow
Bank Scarecrows fishing for money
Florist Scarecrow
Leprechaun Scarecrow (because anyone can be Irish)
Scary Scarecrow
Painted Pumpkins (Look for the Green ribbon Winner)
Scarecrows Chatting
Scarecrows at Rest
Political Scarecrow
A Scarecrow Family (they had good seats for the parade)
Last but not least is the Scarecrow Family. So, how do you celebrate the Autumn Season?
This is really awesome! I wish our town or neighborhood did something like this. I love the scarecrows hanging out at the campfire the best! We celebrate Autumn with a lot of hiking, fires in the fireplace, and baking fall flavors. We also decorate our front porch and carve pumpkins.
It was fun. And now we have a birthday to get ready for as Sam turns 6. The kids are already talking about their halloween costumes.
Thank you for your sweet comment on my blog today! And I totally understand that your art & relaxation comes when you’re making creations in the kitchen :) awesome!
Every Fall I go into seasonal depression. The thought of the arid ground makes me sigh but I do so love the autumn colors!! Thank you for reminding me of the Joys of Fall. Your Pumpkin eye is awesome!!!
This post has become very popular lately. I am looking forward to making a new scarecrow for this year’s festival.
I liked this post and the idea of your neighbors competing with scarecrows. Cool
It was a lot of fun and really dresses up the town during our annual festival.
Those are all great!! I needed some Halloween motivation..
