Backyard Chili carnival raises money for MS

During the past four summers, David Fink, 14, of Chili, has turned his yard into a carnival to raise money for Multiple Sclerosis. So far, he has raised almost $600. He set up and built 12 games of skill, each offering a small prize to the winner. The games range from a duck pond for little ones to dart toss and more complicated games for older fairgoers. This year, he added a dunking booth and his sister Kara, 12, volunteered to be the dunkee. Here, David Fink tests out the dunking booth on his sister, Kara, while Ryan McConnell, Elyse Fink, Jack Shannon and Danielle DeLeo look on.
