Scarecrow Festival It is with a great deal of sadness and disappointment that the West Kilbride Scarecrow Festival have to inform everyone that the newly formed Scarecrow Group are having to disband and cancel this year's festival. Previously, they were a sub group of the West Kilbride Community Initiative Limited until February this year. They say that unfortunately since then they have been unable to conclude a number of issues with the Initiative that are preventing them from proceeding with this year's event.

Chairman Jurie Duvenage said that while they appreciate it will cause a great deal of disappointment to many, unfortunately these events take a considerable time to organise and they have sadly run out for this year's event.
