DUNMORE -- Folks came out to have good time and raise money for a park in Lackawanna County.

Saturday's Oktoberfest was held to raise money to restore the basketball court at Saint Anthony's Memorial Park in Dunmore.

The fundraiser was dedicated to the memory of Donald Rinaldi who spent years taking care of the park in his spare time.

Organizers said the town has really come together for the park.

"He donated his time here for over 40 years. This was his heart and soul," said Tina Lavelle. "In his honor we're trying to restore the basketball courts to compliment all the nice things he did at the playground."

So far, $16,000 has been raised for the restoration, and the goal is to raise another $6,000 which should cover the costs of resurfacing the court in Lackawanna County.
