Make A Scarecrow With Us!

Tradition. That is what our annual Garden Club Scarecrow Factory has turned into. Maybe not Fiddler on the Roof style tradition, but close. It’s just so much fun for child-sized kids and adult-sized kids to make a scarecrow. The Elk Grove Garden Club had enough supplies for about 120 scarecrows at our factory last year. We sold out.

This year, it wasn’t ‘sold out’; it was ‘rained out’. Michele George to the rescue! Elk Grove’s Pioneer Days won’t be rescheduled, but our Garden Club president was able to reschedule our garden club’s portion, the Scarecrow Factory.

Join us on Saturday, September 21st where you can pick your parts and make a scarecrow for just $7.00. We’ve got the hay, the heads, the hats, the hair, the faces, and all sorts of clothes. Basically, everything for your scarecrow except the brains. Bring yours.

The factory will be held from 9 AM – 1 PM at the Elk Grove Village Farmer’s Market. We’ll be in the library parking lot at 1001 Wellington Ave.

Did you hear about the scarecrow that won an award?
Apparently he was out standing in his field.

If you’re looking for scarecrow ideas, I’ve got lots for you.  I guess I’m one of those adult-sized kids myself.
