The McNichols said they had so much fun, they think it should hap- pen again next year. "It was so much fun - very social," she said. Susan and Tony Arts, who spent most of the 24 hours in shifts on Main Street, said the event was "awesome." Side by side with Tucker's Meats, the Seaforth Bakery, Blooms 'n Rooms and the transplanted Freeze King, those representing the north- west block of businesses spent the night playing poker, shooting each other with water guns and silly string and trying to trick each other out of their chairs to pay the $10 fine. "Tuck (Doug Fry) and his motorized scoot- er had to be the best," said Christine Behnke, of the Seaforth Bakery. "He remained seated touring up and down Main Street vis- iting with every- one and harass - Annual Seaforth BIA Fathers Day craw Enter eIt participating Seafortb businesses before Sunday, Juni 18! 1 1 1 1 1 kk WIN A PRIZE PACKAGE WORTH OVER $400.00!

"And, Judy (Jansen of Freeze King) owes about $1.6 million in fines because she kept getting out of her chair," said Arts. "I don't owe a million - maybe $50," responded Jansen. She said she was forced out of her chair a few times by water and silly string and once she fell out, break- ing her chair. "This was great, lots of fun. I'm a little tired but I thought it was for a good cause," she said. Gayle Coleman, manager of Desjardins Credit Union and Pete Martene, of Pete's Paper Clip, joked that they were glad they didn't live in the "rowdy" part of town, north of John Street. "We were living in fear that we'd get hit by a giant Super Soaker. North of John Street was where all the mischief was taking place. We call this (south of John Street) the best part of town," laughed Coleman. "I would do this again in a minute. People just gave and gave - sometime or other, the pool's affect- ed everyone in town," said Coleman. Both Coleman and Martene took the challenge seriously enough to spend the entire 24 hours on the street. "Go big or - stay home," said Martene. Besides the water guns, Harry den Haan added to the mischief fac- tor by threatening pies in the faces of participants around 3 a.m. The pie moneymaker, which raised about $100 for the Lions Pool, involved a $10 donation for pie insurance (protecting against a pie in the face) to den Haan's contribu- tion for the pool or a $10 donation from den Haan to whomever received the pie in the face. "I thought it was fun but I'm not sure they did," said den Haan. "I thought 3 a.m. would be about the time of day they'd be close to sleep. This was a sit-a-thon, not a sleep-a-thon, afterall," he said. Mary Little, of the TD -Canada Trust, said she was enjoying sitting under an umbrella visiting with passersby. "This has been great. It's an unusual fundraiser but I'd do it again as long as I had the day shift," she said, adding that her kids and grandkids have used the Lions Pool. Brenda Campbell, of Coldwell Banker Realty, who also stayed up the whole 24 hours, was dragging during the last few hours. Positioned on the corner of Main Street and Highway 8, Campbell and Sandra Dale were answering questions all night from trav- ellers who won- dered what was going on. They finally printed out a sign that said "Sit-a-thon" and hung it on the corner. Winner of the challenge was Christine Behnke, who raised over $2,800. "The Seaforth community should be very proud of them- selves for sup- porting and rais- ing such a large amount of money for the Seaforth Lions Pool," said Arts.
