Scarecrow Festival - Port Perry

October 8, 2009 by MikeD · Leave a Comment 

Reverend Simon Bell, the Youth and Family Minister from the Church of the Ascension here in Port Perry, and his youth group, were out in full force facilitating a “Make a Scarecrow” workshop as part of the Downtown BIA Fall Festival events last week. “Kids” of all ages were invited to participate in the making of scarecrows, and as you will see on the video, a great time was had by all!

Finished scarecrows were then posted throughout the downtown core to celebrate the season. Take a walk downtown and have a look… you might recognize some of them. ;-)

I must give a special mention to Holly Stiller, a resident scarecrow expert, for taking us through the steps in making great scarecrows.

Thanks again to Simon, Holly and the whole group from the Church of the Ascension, for making Port Perry a great place to live!

As always, we welcome your comments and feedback. (below)
