John, right, accepts the wheelbarrow from Wellsford Plus representative Colin Smith.
Te Hana Gas owner John Pattan was the lucky winner of a wheelbarrow full of local goods in a pre-Christmas raffle run by Wellsford Plus.
The draw raised around $1600 towards Santa Parade costs and Wellsford Plunket.
The second prize of a Pete Bowmar Toys wooden grader and some groceries was won by Scott Innes, and the third prize of $130 of vouchers for three Wellsford cafes – Lime Tree, Caffe Cozy and Peppers – went to Tony Santos. Wellsford Plus thanks all the local businesses and community members who supported the raffle.
