This current Covid-19 pandemic has severely curtailed many village and town activities, so I was pleased to hear that Bildeston was having a Scarecrow Festival, with many people in the vicinity adorning their gardens with their creations. Having spotted just a couple in the main street, we decided to tour the whole village armed with our cameras, and this blog records just a few of the amazing creations. I believe there were about 78 in total but I have about 14 of them posted here, including the three judged top.
Drunk as a Lord - this creation was in a neighbouring village, but I thought it deserved a mention!
Obviously a pirate!
Blind as a bat Pat - Specsavers. Very clever.
Tractor Girl - obviously a keen Ipswich Town football fan
Ivor Bean and family
I really thought this was real when I spotted it from the rear!
Not really a scarecrow but clever nevertheless. MInions
This traffic policemen was stationed on the edge of the village.
Not sure what this depicted!!
This, believe it or not, is Sammy.
The `If I only had a brain` from Wizard of Oz came in third place
In second place was this clever take of the Dominic Cummings story.
And first place went to Ma`m herself.
A huge amount of effort had gone into this event and although we visited a few days after the event, there was still plenty to see. I think a socially distanced event was held in the village square on the Saturday when judging was done.
