SC: Columbia: Scarecrows In the Garden, Historic Columbia

We took a little trip through Historic Columbia (??) to the Robert Mills House and Garden to see the entries for the "Scarecrows in the Garden" contest. It was pretty cool. Eva wasn't real clear on what a scarecrow is, so this was a great way to find out.

The elderly with the walker, to the left, was created by The Rice House.

This lovely one is called "2 Moons over the Robert Mills House." I didn't catch who created that one. (USC Frat boys? North Columbia Junior High School?)

This guy to the left is the Piggly Wiggly scarecrow. The football says "Get Your Pig On" and there was something else near his feet that identified the Pig.

The Wood Sprite, to the right, was scary. And the little goth freak below was created by the women's Roller Derby Club.

The fishermen were created by the SC Wildlife Federation and we thought maybe we could make one like that at home, but we didn't.

I always like to throw in a game for you!
See if you can figure out this next one:

Which is the scarecrow and which is a business man enjoying his lunch?

The third one down is not politically correct and will get the Robert Mills House in trouble with the liberals in our country. At first I thought it was our president in drag until I saw the hands and area around the lips were white not black like the face.

I need to apologize for my remark about the president. As a Christian and American I should honor the office of the president even though I do not agree with his policies.

Yes, Drifty, I wondered if perhaps you didn't read my Blue Plate Special today.
