Shelley Davies, of Witchford Post Office, said: “Thank you for an amazing event, without all the scarecrows it wouldn’t happen. Many of you put hours and hours of effort into them (2 Sutton Road) and in their own way they are all winners to me.

“Thank you for all the suggestions for next year’s theme, too. I had lots which is really helpful. The most suggested were historical figures, Christmas, board games and the 80’s.”
