Local resident Linda King checks out a Dr. Hannibal Lecter look-a-like scarecrow sponsored by the Hill Stompers Saturday afternoon on Central Avenue. The Lecter look-a-like asked her to join him in some fava beans and a nice Chianti, but to her credit King politely declined and left the area. Photo by John McHale/ladailypost.com
