Annual 2014 Scarecrow Festival in Cross Creek Ranch Fulshear Texas

Cross Creek Ranch in Fulshear Texas is hosting the 5TH annual Scarecrow Festival on Saturday October 18, 2014 starting at 11 AM and lasting till 4 PM. The festival is being held at the hill in Cross Creek Ranch which is located behind the recreational facility in the front of the subdivision. Cross Creek Ranch is physically located off of FM 1093 just west of FM 1463 in Fulshear which is right next door to Katy,Texas. A large section of Cross Creek Ranch is zoned to Katy ISD.

One of the many features of this festival is the collection of full sized scarecrows which are created and built by local residents. All attendees will get to vote for the BEST or your favorite scarecrow and the winner will receive a prize of $1,000, $500 and $250. Judging is based on creativity and originality. I went to see these creations two years ago and it was really neat and interesting to experience. Below are just two of the scarecrow entries during 2012 for this contest. This years theme is “Rock N Roll” and should be a lot of fun.
