There was a good crowd at the Nunda Township Republican Central Committee Picnic.

There was a water slide for the kids.

From a rainy, sixtyish morning, the temperature climbed to the mid-80’s.

Water was the answer for a lot of the kids.

Not just on the water slide, but in a dunk tank. This dunkee was kicking the water in a vain attempt to return the favor with the boy throwing the balls.

No political celebrities. Not the money making attraction it could have been. Just kids willing to get dunked into the increasingly muddy tank.

The Crystal Lake Fire Rescue Association also had its “Safety House” trailer.

Kids, of course, don’t always enjoy what the adults plan. This little girl thought picking leaves off a maple tree was the most exciting thing going.

The K-9 unit from the Sheriff’s Department was also present, but I didn’t get a photo of the deputy and his dog.

Tune in tomorrow for the political part of the picnic.
