Saturday, March 5, 2022: The annual Polar Plunge to raise money for Minnesota Special Olympics.


There was a costume judging contest.


Then it was time to jump into near-freezing water through a hole cut in the ice.
Even police officers participated.



SCUBA divers were there to assist. They got wet too.

Even Superman went for a swim!


Let me out of here!


It was a real crowd pleaser. Some 250 brave souls jumped in, raising $7000 for charity.
