What?! You've never been to Milton's Scarecrow Festival? Well you just don't know what you've been missing. Starting out as a row of rag-tag scarecrows adorning a Milton bench and has since grown into a scarecrow and harvest extravaganza.

In 2008 the scarecrows will be "Going Outer Space". Dress up your scarecrow

So between craft demonstrations, street theatre: between pumpkin pies and scarecrow viewing and dancing, you will find complete entertainment for the whole family.

Markets Merry-Go- Round Dancers
Music Buskers Clowns Games
Live Scarecrows Bushdance

Plus there is the some great family entertainment, farm animal zoo, horse drawn carriage, pony rides, live scarecrows, face painting, jumping castle and much more.

So there you have it, a small community festival with big entertainment and bigger fun. Bring your "Going Outer Space" scarecrow and your family to Milton on June long weekend.

Sunday is the big day of the judging, the scarecrows all gather and jostle in the town posing to impress the judges. The winning scarecrows and their proud 'parents' are awarded prizes. Download registration form
