PARK CITY, Utah — The annual Scarecrow Festival returned to McPolin Farm on Saturday, October 5.
Scarecrow Festival at McPolin Barn.
The event, set against the rustic backdrop of McPolin Barn, drew families and locals alike. Attendees took part in face and pumpkin painting, autumn treats, and built their own scarecrow to be displayed along the farm’s scenic trail.
