Scarecrow ZIZO

I am again joining in with Helena's ZIZO week 41.
There have been a lot of extra characters appearing around our area since Sunday. These are all part of Harvey's Scarecrow Festival which is the 3rd of it's kind to be held in the Chew Valley area raising funds for the Harvey Hext Appeal. Harvey is a young boy of 8 who lives in a local village. He is a very special little boy who has touched the hearts of many people . He is an identical twin who has Downs Syndrome and then was diagnosed with a childhood cancer  Neuroblastoma at the age of 5. Local people have worked together to raise money for further treatment for Harvey for when he needs it. You can find out more about Harvey and the fundraising if you click here.
The theme this year is "Kids TV and Games" A lot of the scarecrows are of an amazing quality. Here are two of the 120 that I have spotted so far.
Do you know this chap and his feline companion?






Each scarecrow has a number and clue to help guess it's name.


And what about these characters?


Do you recognise these?







And the clue....


They are great fun to explore and I have a feeling there will be more to be seen on my blog in days to come.
