Getting ready for August 4 2011

The Scarecrow Forest is getting ready for our August 4th opening. Shirley has been busy every Friday at the local thriftshop finding clothes and interesting props for the scarecrows. It is amazing how much clothing it takes for the entire forest and for people to stuff their own scarecrow. Last year our theme was Farmer Hank and the scenes showed him doing various things around the forest. This year our theme is Families. Every scene is going to depict a scarecrow family doing something different in the forest. One scene is going to depict a family painting Penner Pumpkin's first greenhouse. Another scene is a family going for a leisurely bike ride through the forest. We are going to add a couple of new paths this year so that people who don't want to walk the entire trail can do a small loop and still see some scarecrows. We start stuffing the scarecrows and setting up the scenes in July. It takes us about a week to stuff and set everything up and takes up to 6 people to get all the work down.
