In the spirit of “It doesn’t take much…”
Wethersfield, Connecticut recently decorated its Main Street with scarecrows of every kind, drawing crowds of people to the town center.
It was an excellent way for us to spend the morning. We laughed and joked and stared in awe at some of these creations.
We also ate breakfast in a local cafe and shopped in a nearby store, thus bringing our dollars to their downtown businesses.
But mostly, we had a lot of fun, and it was clear from the incredible artistry and creativity that the makers of these scarecrows did, too.
It often doesn’t take much to do a lot. A small attempt at amusement and humor can often yield enormous results. A splash of creativity can completely change an environment. An old idea made new can transform the world into something fresh and exciting.
A street lined with scarecrows, designed and built by enthusiastic volunteers, made for an unforgettable morning of fun for my family and many, many others.
Grand ambitions are important and can change the world forever, but small, simple ideas, executed well, are pretty great, too.
