Dunking Dignitaries in the Public Square

Now you see him . . . 

now you don't. Common Council President Don Moore is plunged into the dunk tank by a well-aimed toss of the ball.


During the half hour Moore made himself available for dunking at Wednesday's Night in the Park carnival, he was dropped into the cooling waters a least a dozen times.

Then it was Mayor William Hallenbeck's turn on the dunking stool.

Hallenback was dunked with surprising regularity, often by schoolkids, who knew him as the school safety officer, and once by a police officer on duty in the park.
