Hippo Hunt - A Huge Success
The Hippo hunt week in North Walsham was officially a massive success - it brought the community together, it brought more people into the town and raised a huge amount for local and national charities. The highlight of week had to be the auction night, held out in the sun, with crowds of people ready to spend money on a hippo. We managed to raise just over £30,000 which is way beyond what we could ever have hoped for
So to everyone who sponsored, painted, babysat, looked at and bought a hippo - we thank you very much!
