10. All scarecrows must be displayed on your property and should be positioned so it is unnecessary for anyone to access your property in order to view them. They must also be secured in a manner that they will not blow away and will not otherwise be a danger or cause injury to anyone. Galleywood Festival Committee will not be held responsible for any damage to individuals or third-party property caused by the creation or insecurity of scarecrows. Property owners are held solely responsible for the safety and security of the scarecrow(s)

11. Finally… The most important rule: Make sure you enjoy yourselves and stay safe!
