Hutchinson ? If this scarecrow could sing, what would be the first number on the set list?

“If I Only Had a Robe,” perhaps, or maybe “Half-Dressed.”

Whatever the case, she’s got blue, babe as in ribbon.

The scantily clad effigy a papier-mache rendition of singer-actress Cher, wearing a tiny feather bikini won the prize for best celebrity lookalike at the Kansas State Fair.

It’s also raised more than a few eyebrows Saturday, even prompting fair board member Carol Jordan to ask General Manager Bill Ogg to take a close look.

“Maybe you should evaluate one of the scarecrows,” she said during the board’s morning meeting Saturday. “There was a mother with children who expressed some concerns about the way it was clad.”

Not everyone on the board shared Jordan’s concern, though.

“I thought it was pretty good,” said board member Brad Rayl.

Reactions among fairgoers also varied.

“I liked it,” said Connie Lyle of Hutchinson, who will be going to the Cher concert in Wichita with a friend later this month. “Maybe I should wear an outfit like that when we go.”

Another woman eyeballed the creation and muttered “Slutty, slutty, slutty” as she walked away, shaking her head.

“I think it has crossed the line,” said Andy Dorsey of Wichita. “You don’t see anybody walking around in a string bikini. Somebody was certainly thinking outside the box.”

Ogg’s ruling: The Chercrow can stay.

“My impression is that it’s silly, it’s tacky, but I don’t think it’s offensive,” he said. “Unless the board directs me to remove Cher, I think she stays.”
