The Medina Lions Club is hosting the third annual Family Scarecrow Festival from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at Robert’s Farm Market on Route 31.
Lions member Clayton Ehrenreich said there’s something new this year.
“We thought this year, to make it a little more festive, we’d incorporate pumpkins and apples,” which will be available at the farm market, he said.
Those who go will be able to create “make it, take it” scarecrows for $8 apiece.
Event organizer Sherry Wheatley said the Clothing Depot has donated pants, shirts, hats, scarves and ties, and junior high school students helped make faces for the scarecrows.
There also will be FFA pumpkin carving, food and drink and u-pick apples and pumpkins and cider mill tours. A Dance Theater performance is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m.
The first year the festival was held, there was a terrible snowstorm that knocked down power lines, Ehrenreich explained. “We got completely wiped out,” he said.
Last year, however, there were about 200 people who attended the festival.
“It’s a whole family event,” Ehrenreich said.
Parking for the event will be available in the Tops parking lot.
