2018 SCARECROW TRAIL - "One of a Pair"
Following last years hugely successful 'Family Films'' Scarecrow Trail around Westwood, we're doing it again for a 7th year. The theme for this years trail will be 'One of a Pair'.
WHEN?
This years trail will run every day during the May Half Term week, from Saturday 26th May to Sunday 3rd June.
WHERE?
The trail will start and finish at Westwood Costcutter Local (Tynings Way, BA15 2BU). You can purchase your trail maps from the shop. The trail route (1.5-2 miles long) will take you on a gentle stroll around the village of Westwood, along a family friendly route.
HOW?
Follow the map around the village to find the scarecrows. For each scarecrow you find, take a good look and try to identify which 'Famous Pair' the scarecrow is depicting. Write the 'Famous Pair' for each scarecrow on the trail map sheet. Once you've completed the trail, write your contact details on the trail map and return it to the village shop. We will draw our prizes winners from all entries which have attempted to guess each scarecrow correctly - it's the taking part that counts so don't worry if you don't get every single one right!
WHY?
It's great fun and at the same time will raise valuable funds for our village nursery and primary school.
The trail is being organised by and in aid of:
Friends of Westwood School
Westwood Nursery (Westwood Nursery)
HOW CAN I HELP?
Scarecrow Makers...
We need people to volunteer to make scarecrows for the trail. Think about a famous pair or duo, and you will need to make one of them, with hints and clues as to the pair. Trail-goers will have to guess each famous pair. Google 'famous pairs or duos' for more ideas - childrens characters, film, tv, books, sport, history ... the scope is endless! Be as creative or cryptic as you can. If you'd like some tips on how to get started or you're just looking for a few ideas on weatherproofing your creation, please see our 'Tips' page.
Scarecrow Hosts...
During the trail week, we need homes for all our scarecrows around the village. If you'd like to host one of our scarecrows in your front garden, we'd love to hear from you.
Other ways to help ..
This year, we are also looking for people to help make or serve cakes and refreshments during the week itself.
Prize donations ...
We would welcome donations of prizes for the trail.
To get involved, or for more info, you can email us at: westwoodscarecrows@yahoo.co.uk (offers of scarecrow makers / hosts by 28/03/18). Many thanks indeed for your help and support.
