Scarecrows 2010 – Heroes & Villains

Scarecrows 2010: Heroes & Villains (special guest visit from Willy Thorne)
Local hero, Willie Thorne, visited Hickling to have a picture taken with his scarecrow alter-ego. He stayed to judge the competition and present prizes (as well as sampling locally-made Elizabeth King pork pies!).

Things are a little hazy on this subject but 2010 seems to be the year when Hickling started with a fake social-media news story that a kidnapped Alvin Stardust had been found in a garage in Hickling – it turned out that it was actually Edward Scissorhands but both had made their appearance, nevertheless. Local singer, Alvin Stardust’s agent heard about the news story and phoned to find out what was happening; briefly Alvin Stardust planned to visit on his way to a concert in Birmingham, ran out of time and kindly sent CDs and photos, instead. He was very keen to know whether Alvin was being cast as a hero or a villain! (… and just to add to the confusion; the photo might actually be Wolverine, anyway …)
