2008 Kurrajong Scarecrow Festival
On the Sunday a large crowd gathered in Memorial Park to enjoy market stalls, dance and musical performances by local children and displays of blacksmith work, sheep shearing, alpacas, World War II vehicles and much more. The Kurrajong Fire Brigade ran a popular sausage sizzle to feed the crowds.

In the main street of Kurrajong, there was a display of antique machinery, scarecrows made by businesses and buskers to entertain the visitors.

The Kurrajong-Comleroy Historical Society presented a fascinating display of old parish maps from Kurrajong and district in the CWA Hall. Visitors were excited to discover the history of their own properties on these early maps. This display was a preview for an even larger exhibition that will be held in October 2009, celebrating the 200th anniversary of the settlement of Kurrajong.
