I'm going to take the Polar Bear Plunge!

On Saturday, February 21st, my wife and I will be taking the "Polar Bear Plunge" at Cove Lake near Paris. 

I'm not just crazy, it is for a good cause. The plunge is to raise money for the Arkansas Special Olympics athletes. 

The event will take place at the Cove Lake Recreation area on State Highway 309 south of Paris, Arkansas. Registration will begin at noon withe the plunge taking place at 1:00 PM. 

Proceeds from the Polar Bear Plunge help support year-round sports training and athletic competitions for children and adults with intellectual disabilities or developmental disabilities who participate in Special Olympics Arkansas. 

We invite anyone else who wants to raise money and participate to do so. There is a registration form and waiver to be completed at the event. There is a minimum amount of $50 that you need to raise or donate to take the plunge. 

With $50 donated or raised you get to take the plunge and get a t-shirt. 

With $250 collected you also get a drawstring backpack. 

With $500 collected you get a neoprene 6-pack cooler. 

With $1000 collected you get a blanket (you might need it). 

Just bring your pledges with you on the day of the plunge. 

Anyone who can not participate but would like to give money can do so at : http://www.firstgiving.com/loganso 

Thanks in advance to all those who might give or participate!
