Fair Visitors Give Generously

Visitors to the annual Pauanui Fair on Saturday, January 3 donated generously to the Pauanui to Tairua Trail project.

More than $350 was slipped in to donation boxes at a Trail stall at the fair.

Trail committee members manned the stall which had a notice board giving details and pictures  about the Trail and current progress.

Hundreds of leaflets giving the Trail's website address and bank account number were handed out during the day.

A large number of people  indicated that they would use electronic banking to make donations.

Trail Chairman Gary Fowler said he was delighted at the response.

"It was interesting to discover the number of people who knew about the project and were interested to find out more and then make a donation," he said.

"Thank you Pauanui for your generous support."
