Last weekend the 18th Torteval Scarecrow Festival took place through the delightful lanes of the parish all starting from Torteval Church.

This was the sixth year the GSPCA took part in this wonderful community event and we are hugely grateful to the McIntyre family for the kind use of their front garden which displayed our fantastic entry ‘#GSPCATogether’.

This year the GSPCA not only had a fab entry made by Head of Scarecrows Seb Goman and the team, but we also were kindly invited to collect at the car park on the Saturday for much needed donations for the GSPCA.

Last weekend the GSPCA joined in with the fantastic annual Torteval Scarecrow Festival.

This is the second year we have been allowed to join this wonderful family Guernsey event which is held in high esteem by so many.

Last year the GSPCA focused their scarecrow display on Jessie the beagle who had been stray for over two months and was caught only weeks before the event.

On Monday GSPCA Animal Welfare and Eduction Officer Sarah Creasey popped along with GSPCA dog Cassie to Torteval Pre School.

Cassie is an American Cocker Spaniel that was adopted by one of the team at the GSPCA and with her lovely temperament she often goes out on school and group talks.

The Torteval Pre School children were able to groom Cassie and Sarah talked to the group about the needs and how to care for a dog.
