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:

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

Trail winners:
1st Sarah Rogers
2nd Rhiannan Howell
3rd 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
