Okay, first off.. ignore the socks with the sandals.. 😂🤦♀️
Secondly, did you know that Barren River Lake State Resort Park hosts a Scarecrow Challenge every October? Local businesses and schools can create their own scarecrow displays, which are set up for visitors to enjoy throughout the month. There's even a competition with prizes!
This is my first year participating, and of course I had to come up with something to represent Anfossi Acres Goat Milk Soap! 🐐🧼🫧
I had this idea in my head and honestly wasn't sure how I was going to pull it off, but somehow it all came together! I'm pretty proud of how our little scarecrow turned out. 🥰
And if you're looking for something fun to do with the family, the park has a bunch of Halloween activities going on this weekend!
