10am-3pm on Saturdays in October, kids can create a scarecrow at Wheeler Farm (6351 S. 900 E.).  You supply the clothes, the farm supplies the stuffing.  Bring pants, shirt, hat and a pillowcase.  Children also get to pick a pumpkin out of the farm’s patch and decorate it.  A wagon ride is included in the $6 per person admission fee.  There will also be crafts for kids and Indian corn decorations for adults.

I am definitely taking the toot!  He’s got a scarecrow fetish.  I was going to take him down to Thanksgiving Point for their Scarecrow Festival (Oct. 11, 12, 13 & 15, 10am-9pm) this weekend, but scheduling is not going to allow it.  Also, get this crazy pricing: Adults: $5, Children 6-18: $12, Children 1-5: $6, Babies 0-1 are free.

According to their web site, “The Scarecrow Festival is a fun event for the entire family. Small children can play over 30 games, ride in the peddle cars of Spider Speedway, visit the friendly Petting Zoo in Boo Country where there is a pony ride, Fish Ponds with fabulous prizes, test your skills on the Obstacle Courses, plenty of fun Bounce Houses, and tons of inflatable slides. The Junior Haunted House is not too scary, but plenty of fun. Have your face painted in your favorite spooky theme. Don’t forget to climb aboard our train ride.”

Huh.
