In a delightful Facebook post, local community organizer Lydia Frearson has shared details of an upcoming event that promises to bring creativity, fun, and a sense of community spirit to the area.
“Everyone knows I love an event so here goes!” Lydia starts her post with her trademark enthusiasm, signaling another engaging activity on the horizon. 
A Scarecrow and Business Stall Extravaganza
The event will feature a unique combination of scarecrow displays and business stalls, transforming the local area between two villages into a vibrant and interactive experience. Due to challenges in finding a central venue, Lydia has devised an ingenious solution: participating businesses and individuals can set up their stalls and scarecrow displays in their own front gardens. This approach not only adds a personal touch but also integrates the event seamlessly into the community.
Participants are reminded to ensure they have their own public liability insurance and to keep all displays on their own land. Local shops are encouraged to join the festivities, either by creating a scarecrow to display outside their premises or by designing themed window displays. 
Competitions and Clues
Adding an element of adventure and discovery, Lydia’s event will feature competitions with clues hidden around the scarecrow displays. Maps, therefore, are essential for participants who wish to navigate the course and join in the fun. These maps will guide visitors through the various displays and stalls, making sure no one misses out on any of the creative contributions.
Participation Details
There is a small fee associated with participating in the event and obtaining the maps. This fee will help cover the costs of advertising, creating booklets, providing prizes, and other expenses. Lydia assures everyone that the fee will be minimal, ensuring accessibility for all who wish to join. Plus, the maps offer a chance to win prizes and make nominations, adding an extra layer of excitement to the event. 
To join in, interested parties are encouraged to message Lydia privately. She emphasizes that all entries must be submitted by July 31st, allowing ample time for map creation and other preparations.
Let the Fun Begin!
Community members are eagerly looking forward to this event, ready to showcase their creativity and enjoy a day filled with whimsical scarecrows, lively stalls, and a strong sense of community togetherness.
