Rob Carroll, right and Victor Landeros, left form the stiff part of a human slingshot as a young neighbor prepares to let loose of a water balloon in the Stevens Avenue annual event. The neighborhood potluck in Coulee Dam also got a lot of kids very wet and cool with hundreds of balloons, supplied by Carroll. Nobody hit the neighbor's boat down the street, despite dozens of attempts.
