Do You Sumo


Saturday afternoon, Ben Gross and Andy Szekely, the two Lansdale mayoral candidates faced off in a classic sumo wrestling match. Actually, it was pretty silly... in a good way. They bounced around, grappled, danced and rolled on the ground. The reason for the match was to draw some attention to the mayoral race and to have some fun. As a side benefit, they asked spectators to donate $5 to Manna on Main Street.

But it wasn't about the money raised, or who won the matches - other borough council candidates who participated were Mary Fuller vs. Paul Clemente, Bill Henning vs. Mike Sobel, and Matt West vs. Dan Dunigan. It was really about this community and how we take time to come together, have fun, and work side by side to serve people in need.
