What a cool idea. I love that title. Very creative. We've done scarecrow building but never hay sculptures. Cool.

Debra, The Fall is such a great time of year for all of these fun filled festivals. I bet there are some incredible hay sculptures. I've never seen one before, but the one pictured is great! Funny, we are preparing for a sand sculpturing festival here. Hope you have a great time and take lots of pictures.

Debra, what a great idea. I'm going to forward this to a couple of great farms out here who do all kinds of stuff with their corn fields and pumpkin patches and stuff. I bet they'll jump on this fun family activity.

How fun! Some of the best we have ever seen is on my annual 'mum and daughter' vacation. It was in Pigeon Forge Tennessee and they know how to decorate for fall! We have seen a snowman, horse drawn carriage, scarecrow nearly two stories high and more. What a fun way to celebrate the season.
