It was unfortunate for me that so many fairgoers have decent aim and a sadistic urge to see me plunge into icy water over and over.

As The Shark’s new Digital Managing Editor, I should have expected that my first few weeks at the station would include some exciting new life experiences. Little did I know I would end up sitting in a dunk tank at the Rochester Fair on Thursday.

I sat my cute little caboose on the board and waited for the fairgoers to throw their balls at the target . Spoiler Alert: A lot of them did. You can see it all in that video below.

For the record, A-Train was supposed to be the one getting dunked until we learned that there was a weight limit on the tank. That meant that somebody needed to step in. Someone like me.

I mentally prepare for a severe amount of dunking.

Adults, children and even a legally-blind elderly woman were able to dunk poor ol’ Rob into the watery depths. It was all good though because each ball tosser donated food or money to End 68 Hours of Hunger, puts nourishing food in the hands of elementary school children to carry them through the weekend.

A-Train and I were also joined by Fit Body Transformations in Brentwood who were generous enough to sponsor my watery fate.

Look at those happy, dry faces.

It was good times, although I am still trying to get all of the water out of my sinuses.
