The theme of the morning, which was held in the Melton Borough Council offices in Parkside, was scarecrows.

There was a prize for everyone who dressed up, a competition for handmade scarecrows (max size 60 centimetres), the chance to decorate scarecrow biscuits, make a crow and a ‘corn dolly,’ skittles, a fun quiz and more.
