dunk her — she said they relished the job. “Those kids threw really well — I was cold,” she said about the experience. Tanner Hatch and Darrin Prock also volunteered to get into the cold water of the tank. The event lasted from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m. Spring Fling attendees enjoyed not only eating popcorn and cotton candy, but root beer floats, soda and water. Hobson said a silent auction with 30 baskets full of donated items proved popular. The Spring Fling coincided with a book fair, said Hobson. “We also had our book fair running all week,” she said. “The book fair was also a huge success.” All in all, Hobson said the Spring Fling was a success — especially for the kids. “The kids had a blast,” she said.
