What are people saying about Rhino Mania?

A couple of weeks into the event and the positive comments keep flying into Rhino Mania HQ - here' just a couple of our many goodwill messages...

As a family who live and work in Chester, we had forgotten how wonderful our city was. However, on our hunt for Rhino's, it has made us really look at the city again and see for ourselves, some of the wonderful things going on...It has given Chester a real buzz as strangers stop and discuss the fabulous artwork or just marvel at the creativity. Thank you for helping us re-discover our Chester!

I have lived in Chester for 40 years and I have to say that this has been the best event that I have seen organised for our wonderful city. My two children are now Rhino-Spotters and our friends from other cities are truly envious of the Rhinos and I hope that we have a permanent Rhino in Chester to mark this event.

I just HAD to e-mail you and thank you so for the wonderful animals you have scattered across our city! They are a joy to behold - such colour, vibrancy and quirkiness is what Chester desperately needs - Welcome to the 21st century! And one wonders what other treats us Cestrians (and our visitors) have in store in time to come.......?!
