A couple of weeks ago we were invited to the National Forest Adventure Farm to build scarecrows for their world record attempt. Well, yesterday they finally broke the Guinness World Record with their 3812th scarecrow, a 12 foot giant creation called Big Ernie. The previous record was 3311 and was held in Cincinnati. (Since this post was published the record has been broken again by a town in Tennessee with 4325 Scarecrows)
Congratulations!!
Here are our scarecrows.
Some Interesting Stats:
If you lined up all the scarecrows side by side with the tips of their hands touching, they would spread for 3 miles, form the Adventure Farm to the middle of Burton-On-Trent
The world record line-up has used 5.5 miles of wooden frames
It’s used 8.5 tonnes of straw
3312 sacks for heads, 3312 tops and 3312 trousers
