ALBION – The Holy Family Lawn Fete was a busy place on Sunday afternoon, with many activities for people of all ages. New to the event: a dunk tank.

The top photo shows Bernard Melucci, 9, of Lyndonville throwing a ball at the dunk tank target.

Behind him are tents for people to eat burgers, hot dogs, pasta and other food.

Bernard Melucci keeps his eye on the target – the bull’s eye on the dunk.

There were about 100 baskets up for raffle at the Lyceum.

Eileen Banker and Jim Passarell ran the raffles for a 65-inch TV and for gas cards.

Issac Robinson is soaked and cold sitting in the dunk tank. He worked out getting the dunk tank for the Lawn Fete. Next time he hopes more people will sit in the booth.
