Scarecrows add charm and focus to any yard or garden. Scarecrows can be placed almost anywhere that creativity allows including porches, roofs and tree tops, and can be the fashion statement of the neighborhood. Fairs, competitions and festivals have become the primary arena for showing off the craft of creating a scarecrow or yard folk.
