The Bruce Grey Child and Family Services Foundation received a financial boost on the weekend.
Fourteen volunteers took part in the two-day Our Kids Foundation Amazing Race.
The two-person teams had to complete physical and mental challenges while racing through Meaford, and follow instructions on how to build a scarecrow from a kit.
When their scarecrow creation passed inspection, the challengers were handed directions to their next stop, and off they went on the run.
Last year’s event raised $31,000 for the Our Kids Bruce Grey Foundation, which assists children and families being served by Bruce Grey Child an Family Services.
The Scarecrow Invasion and Family Festival is proud to have been part of the Bruce Grey Amazing Race and thanks the challengers for their scarecrows, all of which will join this year’s line-up of scarecrows during the 20th anniversary scarecrow invasion and festival celebrations.
The Amazing Race scarecrows will be assembled into a jug band vignette at the corner of Collingwood and Sykes Street.
