The annual Kendall Community Scarecrow Festival will be held on Saturday, October 6 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the gazebo park in Kendall.
“Every year we seem to get bigger and better,” said festival chairperson Becky Charland. “This year is going to be better than ever. Be sure to bring your camera!”
Besides the usual events, such as scarecrow building, face painting, hayrides, a scavenger hunt and a variety of games, this year’s events will include live music, a K-9 dog demonstration, the LuGia’s ice cream truck and even a visit from Dorothy of “The Wizard of Oz.”
And don’t forget the stars of the show – the scarecrows themselves, which will be displayed throughout town. The festival theme this year is Your Favorite Super Hero or Cartoon Character.
Charland reminds everyone that many of the activities, including scarecrow building and hayrides, are free as the festival is funded by donations from generous community members and organizations.
