Hanley Farm Scarecrow Festival is Saturday and Sunday Updated: Sep 30, 2022 11:21 AM A A The 11th annual Hanley Farm Scarecrow Festival is scheduled from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 1-2, at Hanley Farm, 1053 Hanley Road, between Central Point and Jacksonville, according to the Hanley Farm website. The event offers the chance to “take part in the age-old farm ritual of making scarecrows and putting them in a field of ripening crops to scare away the birds,” the site says. All the materials are provided — frame, straw, clothes, accessories, heads to draw on and directions. The cost for all materials (and advice if needed) is $20 or, if you are a Southern Oregon Historical Society member, $15. Scarecrows may be put in the field for People’s Choice judging and taken home later, or they can be taken home right away. Any scarecrows that are left will be deconstructed and the materials recycled, SOHS says. Other activities are planned as well, especially for children, and there will be a photo opportunity area with scarecrows.
