Scarecrow Competition

The Ivybridge Chamber of Trade in conjunction with Satellite Sports sponsored a scarecrow competition which was judged by Ivybridge's Mayor, Marc Chapman, at this month's Farmers' Market held on Saturday 15-Oct-2005. The two category winners, each with a �25 voucher to spend at Satellite Sports in Glanville's Mill were: 12 and Under - Daisy Young (aged 10); and Over 12's - Dame Hannah Rogers School represented by Aaron Reeves and Stuart Grainger. The Farmers' Market Stallholders' scarecrow winner was Jilly's Farm Fresh Meats. Well done to the winners and thanks to all who entered! We'll hold the competition again next year, so tell your friends and get them to enter too.

And so that Lydia does't feel her entry was upstaged by the Mayor, here it is in all its carrot nosed glory, together with the other entrants!
