GSPCA are back again for this years Torteval Scarecrow Festival this weekend
The GSPCA is once again preparing to take part in the popular Torteval Scarecrow Festival, which takes place this weekend and promises another fantastic celebration of creativity, community spirit and family fun.
The charity has supported the event for many years thanks to the kindness of a local Torteval family who continue to provide a location for the GSPCA's annual entry.
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.
