Posted 7/4/12 – Please enjoy this photo gallery. Click a photo to enlarge. Come back later, we’ll be adding some video of a couple folks getting dunked. My apologies to Eric Leclair, who was (by far) the biggest draw of the evening. We were so backed up the whole time he was in the booth, that I didn’t have time to get the camera out and get any pictures.
