Yes, among much children’s entertainment there are the famous scarecrows of Durrow, scattered all-round, sporting different looks, designs and funky clothing. You may have a hard time picking your favourite with all that’s around. And be sure not to miss out on who wins the All Ireland Scarecrow Championships, where you can see the very best of the 120 straw figures take the champion title.
