  1. My husband and I went to the scarecrow festival today…..!!!! I was so disappointed cause I thought there would be a lot of displays at the festival ???? THAT’s why we drove there to see…..I like to decorate for the holidays (Fall) aI thought I would see some cute displays. It was something like Roundtop just a lot of vendors selling popcorn, tee shirts,and crafts….Like a flea market. Well, that’s OK too. I just thought there would be a lot of scarecrow’s at a Scarecrow festival….!!!!! We drove over 100 miles so my husband was not to happy……..

    1. Check out the 31 scarecrows on display throughout downtown Brenham. There are some really good ones this year!
