51-Ft. Tall Giant Scarecrow
My son, Andy, and I operate a fall fun park on our farm near Chase Mills, N.Y. One of the highlights is this 51-ft. tall giant scarecrow that's made mostly from salvaged materials. It's supported by a big ash tree and stands at one end of the park. The entire scarecrow is stuffed with hay bales as well as loose hay and stands on 20-ft. tall wooden legs anchored in the ground. The head alone is 8 ft. tall and weighs 200 lbs. The body contains almost 2 tons of hay. We think it's the world's tallest scarecrow and might submit it to the Guinness Book of World Records.
