Just a reminder that Mountsorrel Scarecrow Festival is this weekend!

Registration has closed but there'll be lots to see over the weekend and it does look like the PFSA are looking for volunteers if you fancy giving up a bit of time to help out. All money raised goes to helping buy things at the local primary school.
