We really appreciate all your creative efforts, and send an extra little thanks to those who moved your scarecrows out every morning to ensure they were visible on time to the hundreds of villagers and visitors who came along to celebrate your interpretations of the theme.

This village event was brought to you by the volunteers of MVP. However, it wouldn’t be possible without the generous sponsorship received from:

Spratleys of Mortimer

David Cliff

Horse and Groom

Pierdell Construction Ltd

 Also, special thanks to our event visual storyteller, Rebecca Hedges from www.pictureseverywhere.com. Year after year, Rebecca carefully photographs every scarecrow on the opening day to create a visual record of our community’s creativity. Her keen eye and artistic talent have become an essential part of our village tradition. Her “iconic eyes” shots continue to captivate and have become a hallmark of our events identity.
