Among the designs are traditional classics, as well as newer pop culture trends that Swifties will love; creativetakes on your favorite Disney characters; and of course, a few Barbies and Kens mixed in as well. Visitors will even spota giant dog, some Stranger Things, Alice in Wonderland, and whimsical fairies amongst the designs. Each and everydisplay has its own unique take on the long-standing scarecrow tradition; the Woodstock community certainly outdid itself this year with their creations.
