The sun was shining over the weekend as the village held its annual event – with this year’s theme being Sandal Heroes Scarecrows.
From Hulk and Iron Man to the late Queen Elizabeth II, people of all ages worked hard on their entries.
The overall winner for 2023 was the Ashgrove Care Home for their Super Grandparents featuring Noris and Doris.
The judges were particularly impressed with the stories of their war time exploits and how these were passed on down the generations.
SCA Chairman, Les Goddard, presented the John Harrison memorial trophy to staff at the care home.
The runner up was The Rescuers by the Sandal Hall Close Street Crew with third place going to the Sykes family for their Captain Underpants.
