"Commissioner, You're all Wet!!!

If you didn't make it to today's Julyfest at Gunn Park, you missed some real fun. Former Commissioner Allen took a dip into the Dunk Tank, right after Joyce nailed the target. (I got him once myself!) Codes Officer Brent Crays sat on it a spell and got drenched a time or two. I also was privileged enough to enter the paddle boat race with Skitch's daughter and friend and we won our race! My skinny old canary legs barely held up. So it's Kudos to Parks superintendent Tony Fleeman, Sgt. Rice of the Fort Scott Police, Tom Robertson, Fort Scott Recreation, Dr. Charles and Brenda Parsons, Dr. Steve and Dianna Mitchell, for organizing this First Annual Event, (I know I have left some folks out so email me if I did...) and a "High Five" to all of the City Staff and Public Works employees who worked it today.
