GROBY SCARECROW FESTIVAL 2022
BRADGATE ROTARY CLUB
RULES AND GUIDELINES
The most important rule is…
Make sure you enjoy yourselves!!
They aren’t really many rules as to how you build or design your scarecrow – eg. Straw, papier Mache, reusing or recycling old materials etc.
All we ask is that the main component be straw, otherwise it wouldn’t be a scarecrow.
Please try to enter into this year’s theme of FILMS and please keep it polite and appropriate.
Anyone can enter our Groby Scarecrow Festival 2022
