Scare Crow Festival

Salt Lake City has the annual Christmas tree festival, Portland has the Rose Festival, even Nebraska is likely to have a Corn Festival, but Mahone, Nova Scotia celebrates Scare Crows. Check out the photos we took last week while cruising New England and Canada. Watch for Alice in Wonderland and note the scare crows representing the presidential candidates.





The last photo shows a picturesque little town chosen as a UNESCO site. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) seeks to encourage the identification, protection and preservation of cultural and natural heritage around the world considered to be of outstanding value to humanity. This town, Lunenberg, also in Nova Scotia, is the best surviving example of a planned British colonial settlement in North America.
