Fort Hill Primary’s scarecrow picks up award

The scarecrow, which was made by a team of pupils from the Fort Hill Integrated Primary, won the prize at an awards presentation at the Festival at Hillsborough Castle.

Speaking about the tribute to his father, Frank’s son Tony Carson commented:

“I am absolutely thrilled that the children of Fort Hill have thought to make a scarecrow of Frank. I have no doubt that his loud and infectious laughter would have scared the crows for miles around.”

The team was also awarded Bronze for their Cat In The Hat scarecrow and a well done for their traditional scarecrow Lizzie.

The scarecrows were in competition with over 20 other colourful characters, which were made by teams of school children from integrated primary schools throughout Northern Ireland.
