Scaredy Pants

From now until November 17, fun, wacky, and amazing handmade scarecrows will decorate the town of Solvang during the 1st Annual Solvang Scarecrow Fest. The festival is not just a feast for the eyes, but also a competition—passersby can pick up a ballot at more than 50 businesses in downtown Solvang every day through the end of the festival and vote for their favorite ’crows in categories like most Danish, most humorous, most original, and more.
