Ward Councillor judges Scarecrow Festival
In September the village of Fornham All Saints held its Scarecrow Festival. The whole community takes part and it was a great honour to be asked to judge the scarecrows. It took me four hours to walk through the village judging all the scarecrows that had been made, and it was a very difficult choice. The evening was the highlight with many villagers sitting on the village green for drinks and a meal while being entertained with music.
