What is a Bale Tail?

Picture this, driving around, soaking up the fall colors, as you seek and find the hay bale sculptures and scarecrows along the highways and byways of beautiful Menifee County. The Menifee County Tourism and Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring the Menifee County Bale Trail to help people explore our county.


Displays

Displays should be ready and displayed beginning September 27, 2025 through November 1, 2025.


How will you find the hay bale sculptures?

The participants will provide a physical address where the display will be placed. This address will be added to a Google map that can be printed or downloaded to your phone. There is no set trail, you can visit as many sculptures as you want in any order you prefer. Visit the trail map above!


There will be winners!

Prizes will be given for the best large display, the best small display, the best scarecrow scene and the fan favorite. We will have judges from out of the county and the fan favorite will be voted on via Facebook. Winners will be announced on October 18, 2025.
