Dunk the Readings

One of the most popular amusements is back this year – Dunk the Readings! Local leaders have stepped up to take their turns sitting in a dunk tank for a good cause. Local students may want to take note, as they’ll see some familiar faces in the dunk tank this year.

Dunk the Readings will be located on the corner of Haven and Gould Streets during the Faire. $2 buys one chance to dunk someone, and $5 buys three tries. For a $20 donation, you can enjoy an automatic dunk and see a local leader get dropped into some pretty cold water. Proceeds from Dunk the Readings will benefit the reading Rotary Club/Fall Street Faire and 2020 RMHS graduate Autumn Hendrickson, whose researching and writing a book about the men and women from Reading and North Reading that served in World War II.

Attached is the lineup for DunktheReadings at the Fall Street Faire today from 12-5PM. Please stop by and take your shot at dunking or meeting any of the amazing individuals in town volunteering for a good cause. All of the proceeds will be split between The Reading Rotary and the owners of Ruff N Ready Dog Grooming, that recently suffered a setback.

1 Ball for $2, 3 for $5 or an auto dunk for $20.

I will also randomly get into the tank if someone requests it but I had more volunteers than expected which is an amazing thing.
