Some 35 or more swimmers poised to throw themselves into the freezing lake at the county’s 4-H Center to raise funds for the Humane Society of Warren County will have to wait for another (warmer) day.
Humane Society of Warren County Executive Director Meghan Bowers announced the postponement “perhaps to next weekend (Feb.27)” today, Friday, February 19. Confirmation of a new date for the second annual “Polar Plunge” is dictated by future weather forecasts. A warming trend is forecast for next week.
Last year’s “plunge” was unexpectedly popular and raised almost $12,000 for the care of the shelter animals, attracting a crowd of several hundred spectators.
