Vandals damage scarecrow trail in Knaresborough
A scarecrow trail created for children to enjoy during half-term has been vandalised in Knaresborough.
The trail, which began today, encourages people to hunt for 18 scarecrows in the town centre.
But Knaresborough Business Collective, which represents independent traders and organised the initiative, said in a social media post some scarecrows were damaged last night.
It said it was "absolutely heartbroken" but pledged to carry on with the trail.
The group, which was co-founded by Natalie Horner and Annie Wilkinson-Gill, said:
The post ended by saying the group would "do all we can to fix them all this morning so you can enjoy the trail".
To take part in the trail, visit Ye Older Chymist Shoppe on Market Place to buy a £3 map 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.
