Village scarecrow competition is only a month or so away!
Inspire me with your finest suggestions, please! Am at a loss as to what to create.

Sepp Blatter wearing an England shirt carrying a big bag that has SWAG written on it!
Call me Dave ?
Or ,they have one in Seaton ,Cumbria .
Times&star is local rag ,they'll have pics .
Never had that scarecrow thing in belbroughton when I grew up there!!
Encourage the village bike to copulate with the village idiot and you'll end up with a village scarecrow.
If TJ enters then you're buggered.

Never in a million years would I have guessed this thread was about a scarecrow competition from the title. 😀
A scare-architect - suit, wellies, hardhat. Hi viz jacket with TESCO written on the back and a clipboard. On the clipboard his notes read "One day you'll remember when all this was fields (you're not going to have any more problems with crows)"
I used to cycle past a garden with 'Gorillas in the Clyst'-themed scarecrows in but that only really works if you live in the Clyst valley. Russell ScareCrowe?
Pillbox nearby? Either that or dig a fire trench covering the road junction and fill it with a couple of scarecrow 'home guard' volunteers
My Dalek made out of a composting bin was cruelly overlooked in the judging a few years ago.
The best scarecrow I've seen, was a really realistic, 7 foot tall, wookie.
There was a half splattered witch that had flown into a tree on its broomstick last year. I thought it was quite good.
A previous winner of our village scarecrow competition was a "policeman" wearing a high-viz jacket, positioned by the roadside at the entrance to the village, pointing a hairdryer at the oncoming traffic. 😀
For some reason we saw a remarkable drop in speeding around the same time...
Plenty of suggestions from our village website - not telling you which have been ours over the years....

Apparently we are doing Father Christmas this year....
There's a great one just outside Whiteparish, flash - sitting in a deck chair by the A27 with a speedgun in its hand and a hi-viz plus a coppers hat on 😀
Here are mine since 2010. Three winners, two second and one DNF.

The last one must have had kids running in fear!
Someone up by the airport did a Jedi and Darth Vader having a lightsaber battle last year with lit up lightsabers.
I shall suggest either ,
Freddy Kruger

Scarecrow from Batman

I bought those spaceman boots on Harry's recommendation 🙂

Rather too true around here - but probably not Tesco in our case.
[edit] like your thinking, Bikebouy!
Could always go for strength in numbers rather than detail

For a moment I thought Harry's 1st picture was Brant stopping by for a cuppa 😉
Take the front wheel of the bike and place it against your front window with a scarecrow looking like he's just headbutted your window.
This idea works best if you don't live in a high rise flat (penthouse apartment).
Lemmy.
Not a scarecrow, just Lemmy.
