why not ?
Dunking Dignitaries just doesn't go far enough in the simple opinion of this post author.
It would be alot more fun to dunk various "involved types" in the Junction with Neil Ross providing the comedic commentary. Although comment for the elected members would pale with the batter that will fly with their constituents.
So why not dunk,

Fernando Freitas of The Academy of Realist Art

ReplyDeleteI DID dunk Councillor Saundercook, several times. He was a good sport!
The blog dunked him too
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping the dunk tank will be a feature of next year's festival. Many thanks to West Toronto Paint for arranging the tank and giving the proceeds to the Junction Residents' Association for the Boom Times Spring Fling project. With a tight timeframe, there were issues of permission and liability, but next time, the list of dunkees can be as long as your arm. Thanks to Bill for being a sport.
