A Room at the Inn
Over 600 people came through the doors at this years Room at the Inn. A big thankyou to Mark Reynolds of the Putaruru Hotel who donated the use of the hotel and the Putaruru Combined Churches for supplying the supper and manning the door. This year the community raised over $700 for the Putaruru Bible in Schools programme so a big thankyou to the community for their support.
All of the 2009 rooms were well planned, of high quality and varied greatly. The voting results were:
1st Megan Ince with Santa's Brain. This room was full of orignality and humour and was a snapshot of what goes on in Santa's brain during preparation for christmas.
2nd was the team of Sue Heslop, Helen Haigh and Gillian Robbins with Sugar and Spice. An amazing gingerbread house was the centre piece of this room and the decorations were in harmony with this centrepiece.
3rd was the Putaruru Floral Art group with the Tree Room. An array of beautifully decorated trees made out of different materials filled this room . Angels, flowers and other beautiful decorations added to the impact of this room.
