        <![CDATA[<p>Hi all you Refurbers, we know that you must be very busy with your home renovations.  Renovating can take up a lot of time, for this reason we had only two entries in the Haloween Challenge.  We discussed the small turnout with our two contestants and with our sponsor Lee Valley and decided it would be best to call it a day on this one.  We would like to thank out contestants for their entries and would also like to thank Lee Valley for sponsoring the event. Keep an eye out for our winter Awards and we hope you will all have some time to participate.</p>]]>
