It wouldn't be fall without the annual scarecrow display at Peddler's Village. The family-friendly fun, celebrating its 41st year, will take place Wednesday, Sept. 9, through Sunday, Oct. 31.

Families are invited to Peddler's Village in Bucks County to view scarecrows made by individuals and local organizations.

They'll be on display throughout the outdoor shopping center starting Wednesday. Visitors can vote on their favorites until Monday, Oct. 12, but the scarecrows will stay up through Halloween.

Peddler's Village also will host workshops on how to make your own scarecrow. They will take place Saturday, Sept. 12, 19 and 26, as well as Sunday, Sept. 13. The price is $35 for a kit, which can be shared with up to six people.

And for those looking for spookier fall activities, the Bucks County destination will host murder mystery walking tours in September and October. Participants will inspect the crime scene, gather clues and question suspects. Tickets are $25 per person.
