Scarecrows All Around

Lompoc, Solvang, and all surrounding cities be advised: The scarecrows have landed.  Repeat, the scarecrows have landed.

Okay, so they didn't land exactly.  But overnight, 150 scarecrows popped up all over the area as part of the First/Fifth Annual Scarecrow Fest.  It's a first for Lompoc, but the fifth for Solvang.  It's also the first time Los Alamos, Los Olivos, Santa Ynez, and Buellton have joined Solvang.  So it's kind of the First/Fifth/First Annual Scarecrow Fest.

I'm telling you this because if you live here you still have time to go see them.  I went out to Solvang last weekend and people really get into scarecrow making there.

I mean, look at this:

Wow, right?  And I've heard that they get even more into it in Cambria.  I'll have to save that Fest for next year.  I didn't get to vote on my favorite 'crow though because I don't have a Solvang zip code, but I totally would have.  Voting is important and every vote counts.

I leave you with this picture of me and Trixie being surrounded by scarecrows.  She wasn't scared at all.  She probably would have eaten one if I'd let her.
