Knaresborough scarecrow trail to begin on Saturday
Knaresborough will host a scarecrow trail from this weekend in a fun scheme to attract more people to the town.
From Saturday, Ye Older Chymist Shoppe will sell maps for £3 revealing the locations of 18 scarecrows.
Anyone who finds them and fills in a form on the map will then be entered for a £50 prize draw.

Knaresborough Business Collective, which represents independent traders in the town, has organised the initiative to boost trade in the pre-Christmas period. It will run until November 5.
Natalie Horner, co-founder of the collective, said:
This is the second year the scarecrow trail has been held. Last year saw 444 maps sold and raised almost £2,000.
