For
one week the village of Thornton Hough has been decorated with scarecrows
of all shapes and sizes, from Dennis the Menace and Homer Simpson
to pirates and The Grim Reaper.
The
festival runs until this weekend with a fete on Saturday 3rd July
when thousands of people visit the village to admire the scarecrows.
The chairman of the Scarecrow Festival Committee is David McCaig
he says "The scarecrows are generally prepared in secrecy in
garages and sheds in Thornton Hough. The neighbours really don't
tell each other what they're doing. All of a sudden they keep popping
up like mushrooms, one here, one there throughout the week."
See
the picture gallery of some of the scarecrows on display.
We're

famous Liverpudlians, but we need your help.
