The GSPCA would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the organisers of the Torteval Scarecrow Festival for once again welcoming our team to take part in this wonderfully creative and much-loved community event.

Although we didn’t take home the top prize this year, we had a fantastic time creating our scarecrow ‘Fin- tastic friend from the GSP-Sea-A’ and being part of the fun. The festival is always a highlight in the summer calendar, bringing people together through laughter, imagination, and community spirit — and we’re honoured to be a part of it.
