Upper Falls Region - Scarecrows

Hi there,

On Monday- October 12th Babs and I were getting ready to head home from Niagara Falls, NY.

I found out that in the Upper Falls Region the local towns were having a Scarecrow Festival. Through out the towns there was going to be Scarecrows that were made by local families and businesses. It sounded like fun so Babs and I decided to check it out.

We reached the area and started our Scarecrow hunt!! LOL

We were able to find quite a few- some were really good!!

The first town we went to was Lewiston, NY. A very quaint town with shop lined streets and the sidewalks were brick paved.
One of the shops that Babs "just had to stop in" was-" The Little Yellow Chocolate House". This store had many sweet treats and gift ideas. The owner (Jonathan Boas) was very friendly and helpful in our search for scarecrows....Babs couldn't resist getting a piece of Peanut Butter Fudge, before we continued on our way! LOL

While we were there I saw something I had never seen before....a black squirrel. He was jet black and so cute!! I have seen grey ones, brown ones, and even a white one once- but this was my first black furry encounter!

Our next stop was in Youngstown, NY. There were only a couple of scarecrows here...but while there, we also found they cute decorated fire hydrants..so we took a few pictures of them too.

Our last town to visit was Sanborn...once we had finished seeking out the scarecrows it was time to head back home.

We decided to have lunch before we got back on the highway. We ate at Shannon Pub 2250 Niagara Falls Blvd. -- Buffalo, NY 14150

The food was tasty and the wait staff was great. It was a very relaxing atmosphere- with Irish music playing the in the back ground.

After we finished we were on the road again!! We made good time getting back home and had no problems.

Well that is all for now...will be back soon I'm sure....Can't go too long without having an adventure!! LOL

Until then- take care everyone- Love Donna
