Build a Scarecrow
You do not have to live in the village to take part; we place the Scarecrow’s around the village so there is a place for everyone. There’s no set theme, so use your imagination! A few ideas to get you started: characters/personalities, nursery rhyme/story book characters, animals, monsters……possibilities are endless!
***Please note your Scarecrow will need to be in position 9:30am Saturday until 4pm Monday, if you are from outside the village, we will allocate and notify positions for your Scarecrow***
To enter a Scarecrow, entry forms are available from the village shop, Robin Hood Caravan Park, The Grapes Inn Slingsby, the FOSS page on the School website and the FOSS Facebook page. Entries must be returned to School by Wednesday 1st May.
