Muston Scarecrow Festival 2013

Well 2013 was my first ever visit to the Muston Scarecrow Festival and have to say it will definitely not be my last. With hundreds of different scarecrows on display, and what must have taken hundreds more hours to prepare for, I would like to think every visitor would find a favourite.

I tried my hardest to take photographs of every display but with the thousands of visitors also trying the same I know I will have missed a few. The main one I missed was the clown display which was destroyed by mindless vandalism before I saw it.
