Thats it for the year. The lights are no longer running.

Total raised for our charity: $2,850 (Including $500 from Delta Electricity)

Hear us mentioned on the Spoonman's final radio show (230KB MP3 file),
See our interview in the Lithgow Mercury,
and one more mention (wrong cross street, but close)

On the 23rd of December Mr Whippy arrived, selling Coffee's, Icecreams and the ever popular Slushee's.
A big thanks for helping out, and he will be back next year.

A visit from Santa on Christmas Eve was a suprise for all. It did manage to cause a small traffic jam which lasted for over 2 hours as seen below.

There are 8 cars in the image, but there were another 4 across the road and 2 in the paddock to the right. Considering our street is a dead-end, and only used by those who live in the street, the increase in traffic was definately noticed. Traffic stayed like this from about 8:30PM until lights out at 11:30pm. A big thanks to everyone who helped on the night.
