## Scarecrows line the walkways
More than 150 handmade scarecrows are on display throughout Peddler's Village in New Hope, Pa., the Bucks County shopping destination's signature fall attraction.
## 47 years and counting
The 47th annual Scarecrows in the Village is already underway. It stays up through Monday, Oct. 26, giving you seven weeks to wander through.
## Free to walk through
The outdoor display costs nothing to see. Every scarecrow is made by Philly-area residents and organizations, not by a vendor.
