2012 JUBILEE SCARECROW OLYMPICS
The organisers first started thinking about about having a Scarecrow Festival a few years ago. When the Olympics came along they set about having a village Scarecrow Olympics competition.
The event started on 14 July 2012 and ended on 28 July. Scarecrows were entered from all around the village. The winners were announced at the Garden Party held by the organisers on Monday 23 July at their home. Scroll down to see who the winners were.
