Melissa Gleason, Murphy Lake, and Matt Lake figure out how to attach the wings of their Rainbow (scare)-Crow. Murphy, age 9, explains how he studied the Lenape legend of the Rainbow Crow which became the inspiration for the scarecrow. He said the lore tells of a beautiful crow who sought help for the animals during a terrible winter. The crow secured the gift of fire for the animals but in doing so he lost his vibrant colors.
