The City of St. Charles attracts thousands each year for its annual Scarecrow Festival.  This year we were able to visit the St. Charles Townsends and check out this colorful Fall event.

Lincoln Park is the scene of the Scarecrow Contest Display.  This "Spirit of the Caribbean"was one of the favorites.

I liked this ladies-at-the-beauty shop display.

Me joining these witches for "deadly dinner".

A colorful "fruits of autumn" display.

Fox metal sculpture along the walkway to Pottawatomie Park on the Fox River.  The park was the site of "Autumn on the Fox Arts and Crafts Show".

"Three Foxes on the Fox" with the City Building in the background.

St Charles was named the #1 city for familes by Family Circle magazine.

On Saturday morning we were able to go to Grace's soccer game.
