A Scarecrow Festival in Ingol and Tanterton has brought the community together again with creative displays.
There are a range of prizes on offer for the best scarecrow decorated.
Lauren Smith entered the competition with an Up- themed scarecrow display. She said, “I just love Up and Disney and I thought to be able to create a little Kevin would be cool. A lot of it is chicken wire under Kevin and the Carl one is a wooden structure, and his face is done with paper mâché.
“I think the scarecrow festival is great, things like this are amazing for the community and it’s lovely to see residents coming out with their kids and hunting for them. I think it’s nice.”
