In
photos: Watchfield's scarecrow festival hailed a success
It's
no surprise that there were few birds in Watchfield, near Burnham-On-Sea,
on Saturday (June 20th) because the village was holding its annual
scarecrow festival!
Colourful
scarecrows created by local residents were hung outside homes
and on signs and hedegrows across the village. This year's theme
was nursery rhymes.
One
of the organisers, Keith Whitting, told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "We've
had a good turnout and lots of interest. Visitors were encouraged
to walk or cycle around Watchfield to find as many of the scarecrows
along the way."
Those
creating scarecrows this year included Sheelagh Vickery, Emily
Cotton, Mary Chalker, Kevin and Jane Watts, Dot Robertson, Mary
Nuttercombe, Mary Cornish, Keith Whitting, Robert Hall, Emma Reasons,
Hether Bennett, Margaret Whitting, Philip George and Mary George.
