Yesterday I showed you some of the classic scarecrows at this year's Scarecrow Festival in Lehi, Utah. But there were also a number of creative ones with various themes. You could even vote on your favorites.

This pirate-themed one, set in the creek, was the one we ended up voting for, but there were lots of other great options!

One of the first ones we came across was this Cruella DeVille themed scarecrow, complete with little dalmation pumpkins.

Minions are always a popular option for jack-o-lanterns, which were part of a "Despicable Me" display.

There were actually some more elegantly themed ones, like this winter queen scarecrow.

There was an "autumn goddess" right next to it, but the heavy winds had blown her head off. Honestly, though, it kinda works, doesn't it? LOL

This alien themed display was a rather large one, and included aliens and freaked-out farmers -- as well as clever UFOs made out of umbrellas, which you don't really see here.

Some people went a little more off-the-wall. Like this scarecrow entitled "Cereal Man," which I thought was clever.

There were also popular characters like Barbie.

And speaking of popular characters...I've always been a fan of the Muppets. So when this one cropped up of the Swedish Chef, I had to laugh.

But one of the most impressive ones was actually Oscar the Grouch! I loved the inclusion of the little worm as well.
