Locals celebrities TBD (To Be Dunked).
For one hour on Saturday, Sept. 8, local business owners and managers will be getting wet for a good cause at the Salmon Arm Fair. From 1 to 2 p.m., MLA Greg Kyllo, along with Brad DeMille of DeMille’s Farm Market; Daila Duford, manger of the Salmar Theatre; Ian Gray from Salmon Arm GM; Stu Bradford of the Barley Station Brew Pub; Jeff Johnson from BDO; Jim Kimmerly, Salmon Arm mayoral candidate; and Brooks Christensen, Silverbacks operations manager will take turns sitting at the dunk tank.
“It’s for a good cause,” says fair coordinator Ronnalee McMahon. “The proceeds go to the Second Harvest Food Bank. The bigger the donation, the closer you get to the button.”
You can pre-order a package of five throws for $50, which includes two three-day passes.
“It’s a good deal because the value is $65 and you get it for $50. You can get these passes at the Candy Vault, Shuswap Clothing or the Silverbacks office.”
The Silverbacks will be volunteering from 1 to 3 p.m. on Sunday. The dunk tank will be at the fair throughout the weekend and they are still looking for people to volunteer to be dunked. Please call Ronnalee at the fair office at 250-832-0442.
Ronnalee says they are very happy to do this in partnership with Second Harvest.
“The fair embraces these opportunities to partner. We’re stronger together when we take on these initiatives.”
