A look back at this year’s Scarecrow Festival!

Now that September is here and the little ones are back to school, we’re taking a moment to look back on one of this summer’s most joyful community events here at Chapelton – the 7th annual Scarecrow Festival.

Held during the month of August, the festival brought together residents and visitors alike. With almost 60 scarecrows popping up throughout the town, this year’s ‘freestyle’ theme gave participants the freedom to let their imaginations run wild – and the results did not disappoint. With everything from a Minion to Donald ‘Hay’ Trump to Paddington Bear, the creativity on display this year was fantastic

After much anticipation, and some tough-decision making, the winners were proudly announced:

1st Place: No. 49 Jet 2 Holidays had everyone booking a one-way ticket to first place!

2nd Place: No. 11 Dave the Seagull truly ruffled some feathers – in the best way!

3rd Place: No. 38 Feathers McGraw slid into third with some seriously criminal creativity!

A massive well done to everyone who took part, and heartfelt thanks to everyone who visited, voted and helped make this year’s festival such a success.

And of course, a huge congratulations to the winners! All funds raised will be donated to charities of their choice – an important reminder that while this event is all about getting creative and bringing our wonderful community together, it’s also about giving back.

The Scarecrow Festival has firmly established itself as a much-loved tradition here in Chapelton – and we’re already looking forward to next year’s event!If you’d like to see more of this year’s scarecrows, head to the Scarecrows of Chapelton Facebook page.
