Scarecrows in Rockford, MI - One of our favorite family projects!

They're back! And we are doing ours tomorrow!

This event has been a favorite for our family almost every year since we moved to the area. Previous year's events have run from about 10am to 4pm on each of the Saturdays of Harvest Festival and from about Noon to 4pm on the Sundays of Harvest Festival. (I say about because the volunteers are always there a little early and they will usually stay as long as it stays busy.) I'm pretty sure it's the same this year, but forgot to bring the schedule home ;)

For $7 per scarecrow, they have everything you need right there. They give you the stick, have piles of clothes to choose from, "heads" to stuff and markers to make your face, the ties to stop the hay from falling out and the hay to stuff the scarecrows with.

These pictures are from a couple years ago, so I'll add new ones after we do ours, I just want to make sure everyone knows what fun it is and they have a chance to go!

For $14 we were able to have a great family project together and we got a large portion of our fall decorating done!

All proceeds benefit the Rockford Historical Society.

Enjoy!
