1 min read

Right (L to R): Michelle Mylius, Trevor Ratsch, Melva Ratsch, Stephen Mylius and Anna Schrapel from Step Back In Time at our cover shoot.

The team from Light Regional Council at Freeling with their first scarecrow, 'Easter Bunny.' Lynn Stevenson, Hemasundar Boghanadaham, Miriam Thiele, Anthony Zollo, Corinne Shaw, Sonya Jones, Michelle Marijen.

Nothing says ‘Barossa Vintage Festival is coming’ like the appearance of scarecrows in the weeks leading up to the event.

From the quirky to the clever, from the satirical to those honouring heritage, this quintessential Barossa event is inclusive for all.

The Leader is proud to be supporting both the Barossa Vintage Festival and the Scarecrow Competition, with the QR code featured in the newspaper each week during the competition. What a fun weekend activity with the kids, don’t forget to vote for your favourite!!!
