Scarecrow army takes over village

An army of scarecrows are set to take over a village park as the talents of their creators are judged.

For weeks artistic residents living in and around East Boldon have been creating their straw-filled masterpieces to go on display within Grange Park tomorrow.

Further scarecrows will be on display in the village as part of a special trail. The Scarecrow competition has been organised by the Friends of East Boldon and is the first time they have held such an event. More than 120 people got behind the contest and judging will take place tomorrow as part of the group’s annual fun day.

Entry is free, however, a wristband to access the activities costs £5 and can be bought on the day.
