The commission guessed that <br /> attendance was double this year. All refreshments were sold out early in the evening. <br /> The snow cones, free face painting and the dunk tank were huge hits this year. The <br /> dunk tank revenues, designated to support the "Time -In" playground program, were <br /> $174.00, or 870 balls thrown at our courageous volunteers. It was suggested that <br /> the commission re- evaluate ticket and item prices for next year. This will be an <br /> agenda item at a future commission meeting. <br />
