Warm up your throwing arm, the London Rib and Jazz Fest has announced who will be taking the hot seat—er, the wet seat—at the festival’s dunk tank.
Politicians, public figures and area coaches are on the list of the lucky few who will take the plunge for a good cause in the annual Dunk-a-Dignitary event.
This year, all proceeds go to the London Youth Football and Cheer organization.
