The dunk tank with freshly dunked selectman John Coutinho

The second annual Family Day, held Sept. 15, included a woodsmen competition, dunk tank, balloon artists, face painting, Maggie the Clown on stilts, a photo booth, helium balloons and many games and attractions.

According to committee member Dale Danahy, the committee secured twice as many participants this year from last year. There was a continual stream of musicians who performed throughout the day and food trucks who were selling a wide variety of treats in the parking lot behind the Middle School. The beautiful fireworks capped off the event as a terrific finale.
