The normal scarecrows on our allotment have been attracting is attracting some interest from the wrong people. Three of them were vandalised at the weekend. We  are now concerned that those that are made for our competition on the 15th August might also be vandalised. Have any fellow allotmenteers had problems with vandalism of scarecrows particularly in advance of festivals or competitions?

We are having our fifth scarecrow competition this year. Judging will be at the end of the month so that visitors to our Summer Fayre on August 15th will be able to see the prizewinners.

Sorry to hear about your problem with vandalism, it's such a shame after all the work that goes into making them.

We have never had any scarecrows vandalised in the past, they are probably so scary that they frighten people off.   ;)

I always fancied doing a 'Grim Reaper' type one with a skeleton face and a large scythe....might be pretty scary! I saw a photo of a Cyberman scarecrow (the 'proper' original 1960's type ones) and it scared the bejesus out of me!
