This year’s scarecrow trail was once again a very successful community event.

During the week before the HRA fete, families strolled around Holland-on-sea, trying to guess the identities of the scarecrows.

This year’s theme was Children’s fictional characters. The standard was very high, and we must thank all those who spent many hours designing, making and presenting them in their front gardens or in shop windows etc.

Winners for the best scarecrow were:
Shops / businesses:

 1^st Mansion House Florist (Postman Pat)
Houses: 1^st Alice in Wonderland (31A Salisbury Rd.)
2^nd Where’s Wally (261 Holland Road)
3^rd Tinkerbell (17 Fernwood Avenue)
People’s favourite: Tinkerbell

Trail winners:
1^st Sarah Rogers
2^nd Rhiannan Howell
3^rd Jodie-May Bell

Tie-breaker: 45 answer sheets were returned 

Thanks to: 
D. B. Darts for donating the trophies, and Kings Avenue Post Office, Morrisons and Grandma Lilly’s for selling the trail sheets

Our next public meeting is on Friday 17th October at 2.30pm in Holland-on-Sea Baptist Church, 145 Frinton Road, Holland-on-Sea. CO15 5UR (next to Maffia's)

AGENDA:  To follow
