Starting in 2003 the police
department began renting a dunk
tank for the Independence day celebration.
Over
the past two years the police
department has been unable to obtain
the dunk tank because in 2005 the tank was damage in an automobile accident
the day before we had reserved it. The following year the tank was
sold by the owner, around a month before Independence
Day celebration. The department
was not notified of the sale of the tank, which had been reserved
since January of 2006.
With this in mind,
the
police department wanted to insure that we would have the tank for the
Independence Day celebration, from this point on.
So
in February 2007 Chief Matt Dennis began a fund raiser to purchase a
dunk tank. The goal of $3515 was reached on June 6th,
2007. We would like to thank everyone that donated to the dunk
tank fund. B&M Heating and Air,
Kistlers Service Station, Wheat State Dynamic N.C. Women's Auxiliary,
Inter-skate 77 & Everyone in and around the community who donated.
