This sounds pretty cool. Too bad I am employed and must be at work during these festivities.

Lots of people are employed and at work during this event. Life isn't just about those who work 8 - 5.................

All the news says unemployment is DECREASING in PG. Why the hell hold this on a Friday ? It would've been great to see what Mayor McMumbles comb forward hair would've looked like after going in the dunk tank ;-)

Shame on those people raising funds for cancer. They should have been more thoughtful... It's amazing to me that no matter what the story, these negative comments come from the same people.
Did it even occur to you that the orgnizers may have wanted this event to be on Saturday but things may have prevented that. Have you ever organized an event for a good cause?
