Setting up for the Third Heacham Scarecrow Festival took place in the rain. Everyone hoped it would brighten up later. Sadly to say it got worse!
In spite of the
downpour (no exaggeration), the stage was set, the Deputy Mayor
opened proceedings and judged the nineteen groups and
individuals who entered their scarecrows into the competition.
Once judging was completed, the gates were opened and wow! Even in the rain the visitors
came. Very impressive. The
Lynn News reporter had the best umbrella (it blew to bits!). |

Visitors enjoyed themselves as best they could. The Scarecrows were very well done by everyone and provided some laughter and talking points. |
