Flying high

Funhouse Learning Centre attendee Briar Dickinson, 10, gets ready to let go of some of the 150 balloons in celebration of the centre's fifth birthday celebrations yesterday.
Centre owner-manager Judy Burgess said the tenure had been exciting and progressive and she looked forward to another five years.
Ms Burgess, who originally came to Wanganui for a year, said she found the local council and public very supportive in her venture.
"Wanganui is a very get-up-and-go sort of place," she said. The centre had 30 children aged up to five years in attendance with eight full-time staff.
