Sherington - Village Fete 2005

We'd like as many households as possible involved, so get the whole family thinking of their original ideas now!
Don't leave it to the last minute! Please have your scarecrows in place the weekend before the Fete, so everyone has plenty of time to see them.
On 25 June, please take your scarecrow along to the Fete itself, where they will be put on display in 'Scary Alley'.

Enter the competition for the Best Scarecrow and win a prize!
The prize is a family ticket to Gulliver Land
Judging starts on Saturday 18 June. The judges are Norman Arnold and Philip Smith.
Don't forget to get your entry form if you want a chance to win the prize! No entry form, no prize.
If you prefer, you can just put up your scarecrow for fun.
Further information (and entry forms) from: Norman Arnold (21A High Street, Tel: 612794) or Philip Smith (39 Water Lane, Tel: 610984)

Need some ideas? These villages have annual scarecrow festivals and their websites show what is possible: Thornton Hough on the Wirral and Kettlewell, Yorkshire.

There were also 40 excellent scarecrows in 2003: see Page 1, Page 2, Page 3.

The last Fete in 2003 exceeded all expectations, raising over £10,000 for local community groups, and all who attended enjoyed a fantastic day of family fun. The 2003 Fete website gives you details of the attractions, sponsors and events, including 90 photos of the day itself, and 40 scarecrows. With your help, we hope to make the 2005 Fete even bigger and better.
