Party On Potton
Big Weekend
Scarecrow Competition

New for 2016, we thought we’d have a Scarecrow competition, with prizes for not only those creating the scarecrows but for those that find them too!

So fancy making a scarecrow, then this is what you need to do. 

How to Enter the Scarecrow Competition

  • Create your own scarecrow, using the theme for this year’s Big Weekend which is ‘Party Time’. 
  • Name your scarecrow (this needs to be visible for those people doing the hunt). 
  • Decide where you are going to put your scarecrow, but remember permission might be needed.
  • Send all this information along with your name, age and telephone number to: committee@partyonpotton.org.uk 
  • Once you’ve created your scarecrow a photograph of it in situ will be required.  Again this can be emailed to the above address, but this must be done by Fri 26th August 2016, to be included in the Scarecrow Trail that is taking part over the Big Weekend.

Fancy trying to find the Scarecrows, then this is what you need to do.
How to Enter the Scarecrow Trail

  •  Come and grab a Trail Map and Entry Form from the Ticket Booth on the Field. 
  • Solve the trail and complete the Entry Form and return to the Ticket Booth before 2pm on Monday  29th. 
  • Prizes will be awarded from 4pm on the Monday for the following categories:
  • Public’s Favourite Scarecrow
  • Best Location of Scarecrow
  • POP’s favourite Scarecrow
  • All returned Entry Forms will be entered into a daily prize draw

So, the hunt is on for the Best Ever Scarecrows, look forward to seeing them about town!
