The success of the Dannevirke Community Board s Christmas tree extravaganza has well exceeded expectations.
Board chairman Pat Walshe, who came up with the idea after visiting a similar display in the small South Island town of Renwick, said he was surprised by the response to the display which was well beyond what he had expected.
The display, held in the Rawhiti Lodge hall on High St, opened last Monday and had 20 people through the door.
On Thursday 80 people visited and by the end of the week a total of 200 had been through the door.
