After reviewing the Groundhog day event on TV Sunday AM, I thought of how a great annual event can ad value to a community. Alex and I may just head up to Punxsutawney, PA, to see Punxsutawney Phil. Until then. I rely upon my past experience where I once again, embarrassed my daughters by taking my second Lake George
Polar Bear Plunge. Take the plunge take
home the tee shirt. Jan 1, 20013 was a
beautiful day on Lake George in upstate NY.
Weather was 25 degrees at the time of the plunge, water temp reportedly
at 35 degrees. Once again, I was not disappointed in a cold water in my face start to a new year. And yes, I went all they way, rushing and diving in and taking a total immersion of the cold Lake George water. Click “Read more” at the bottom of this post
to view additional personal photos of the day/event.
It is funny that I have now plunged twice (2007 and 2013) but have yet
to step foot into Lake George during the summer. Shepard’s Park is the site of
the Lake George Summer Festival
hosting many family-friendly fun filled events.
Event registration is held at Duffy’s Tavern, once of the primary
sponsors of the event. The polar Bear plunge kicks off the Lake George Winter Carnival.
The event is usually held at Shepard’s Park, located on the main street of Lake George Village, but the side
story this year is that the Shepard’s Park beach was closed due to ongoing
operations to eradicate the invasive Asian Claim (CLICK HERE to view the blog site “Lake George Asian Clam Eradication Project“ on the purpose for and progress of the eradication effort).
A great family vacation with an active outdoor start of this New Year. We all wish everyone a very Happy and prosperous
2013!
