Scarecrow festival
Last weekend on Sunday, we happened to run into a scarecrow festival while being driven around in the countryside. Locals and school kids made those scarecrows using straw, and the best ones receive prizes. Popular subjects included Michael Jackson, the prime minister, and the bad guy from movie 20th Century Boys.
