KENDALL – Everett Swetz, 6, of Kendall tries the steer roping station on Saturday during the Kendall Scarecrow Festival. Two bales had the jerseys of Buffalo Bills players for this activity.
The theme for the festival was the Buffalo Bills.
These scarecrows wore clothes with a Buffalo Bills theme.
The winners of the scarecrow contest include the Cub Scouts in first, Kendall Ladies Auxiliary in second, and Logan Cole and Benny D’Agostino in third place.
The festival started in 2010 and has a different theme each year.
The festival gives people a chance to make their own scarecrows, paint pumpkins, ride ponies, get their face painted, leap in a bounce house, and enjoy a hay ride. Mercy Flight also was on site with a helicopter.
This group is ready for the hay ride down Kendall Road (Route 237).
Daniel Jobin leads a horse in offering a pony ride to Nora Bowling, 7, of Kendall.
Jobin is director of Before the Last Call, an equine therapy program for first responders. It is based at Lone Oak Stables in Kendall.
Debbie Ryan and the Kendall Lions Club served hot dogs, hamburgers, cheeseburgers and drinks.
Even the mums had mini scarecrows as part of the festival.
Karen Liese and the Kendall United Methodist Church had a popular dish: taco soup.
