Peddlers Village, Pa.

A few weeks ago, before my trip to Rhinebech and before our visit to Cape May,
the hubs and I took a trip out to
Peddlers Village, Pa.
I have had so many wonderful memories to share,
I never got around to posting about this fun day.
A one hour, fifteen minute drive from home,
we frequent this small, quaint shopping village several times a year.
They go all out decorating for Halloween 
and sponsor this non-traditional scarecrow contest during the fall.
We ate lunch at the Cock & Bull Restaurant followed by a leisurely stroll though the village.
I photographed a few of the entries I favored, there were way too many to photograph all of them.

Although, I usually favor traditional scarecrows, this owl was my favorite.



















And here's a kid in a candy store...




The hubs had chocolate and his girl had cappuccino fudge.
Wait until you see what they do in the village for Christmas...
you can take a sneak peak at a few previous visits here and here.

If you had a favorite scarecrow, mention it in the comments!

Hi Debbie,
It's Jean......a few weeks back my dear friend and I took a ride to Peddlers Village to have lunch and check out all the scarecrows. It was a beautiful day, sunny and bright. My favorite was Big Bird and her's was Captain Hook. We love Peddlers Village! Can't wait for the Gingerbread exhibit! Enjoy your week!

Oh man I too just loved the owl, you can tell they really put work into that and so creative!! How fun, we went through one town on one of our adventures that had scarecrows on every corner but we didn't stop we just drove through town slowly. They just aren't the same here in the midwest, well at least not that we have found yet.
You know I have never had pumpkin fudge, now that sounds interesting :)

I liked the one sitting NEXT to the one with the Camp Gaddsford sweatshirt! He looks really lifelike and like he'd be a whole lot of fun!! Really, the scarecrows are wonderful, it would be hard to choose. What a great place. Happy Halloween!

LeAnn said...

Thanks for taking so many fun Halloween Scarecrow photos. I loved Big Bird for a fun one then the one creepy Skeleton with one woman and skeleton hanging on it. I loved the photo of your hubby. Then of course the case full of goodies caught my eye
Blessings and hugs!
