Nos. 8, 21, 22, 23, 25, 27, 29 and 36 proved to be the deciding crows with many incorrect answers for them! Most others were correctly guessed by most trailblazers. As always feedback was mixed: some loved the cryptic crows, others felt all should be scarecrow like; some wanted the trail to be longer, others shorter but the majority said “it's just right, no improvements required”. Thank you to all the scarecrow makers and hosts and to all those who bought a trail sheet and supported the event; so many people seem to have it as a family tradition, in the diary each year. After 15 years I think we can say we have a working model !
Only 1 entry has got the answers correct but several entries have just one wrong answer so they'll be fighting for 2nd & 3rd prize.
Next year's trail will be on the theme of Nursery Rhymes (and probably Children's songs as we might struggle to get to 50+ nursery rhymes)! If you would like to make / host a scarecrow for next year please get in touch soon with Michelle McSweeney (Mother Theresa's creator!) as Michelle has kindly agreed to coordinate the scarecrow list – thank you Michelle.
