Torrington Cavaliers Third Annual Scarecrow Competition

The Cavaliers are organising the Great Torrington Third Annual Scarecrow Competition throughout the summer. We hope that as many private householders, businesses and schools as possible will make a Scarecrow and display it either in their gardens or outside their business premises. If they don't have a garden or ground space the Scarecrows can be fixed to the wall, hung from windows or even on roofs in fact any where they can be seen and provide a good opportunity for visual display and reasonable access for judging.
We would like the Scarecrows on display from Saturday 18th July through until Monday 31st August. And they can be on any theme or subject of your choice and each one or group must have a name. The entry fee is £5 for private householders. £10 for business premises and schools are free. There will be various prizes in each group and points are awarded for originality, quality, attention to detail and topicality, etc.
The entry forms and full set of rules will be available at Tattersalls Property Management office 1, Castle Street Torrington from Monday 6th July. Your entry fee must be paid when you pick up your entry form.
This is the third time Torrington has had a Scarecrow competition we hope many people, businesses and schools in the town and local parishes, i.e. Taddiport, Frithelstock, Langtree, Monkleigh, High Bullen, St Giles, Weare Gifford, and Little Torrington will enter and contribute to making the Town and surrounding district colourful throughout the summer and exceed the last two years efforts.
