Extreme Scarecrow Building

Over the last month, Bucks Happening has seen a lot of fantastic scarecrow building and even gave it a shot ourselves. We can now truly appreciate the skills needed to create an exceptional crow. Well, Ellen Baur and Denny Rosanski of Pittsburg, PA have a winning formula; Ellen comes up with the super-creative ideas and Denny executes them flawlessly. Ellen first entered the scarecrow competition 25 years ago and had such fond memories that she decided to restart the tradition last year. Ellen & Danny began building their masterpieces in February, collecting the perfect parts to turn their visions into festive crows such as a toilet seat, gypsy ball, and even a steering wheel from a child's play-set. Then, after getting their crows just right, Ellen & Danny take them apart, make the five hour drive to Lahaska, and put them back together again at Peddler's Village. Talk about dedication!

We had to get a closer look after hearing about their 3 entries:

1) Traditional/Whirligig Category: “Do It Yourself Scarecrow Wear”

2) Extraordinary Contemporary Category: “Sweet Gypsy Rose”

3) Keystone Crow Category: “Pennsylvania’s Super Guy Crow Agent”
