Atlantic Beach North Carolina

 

The 7th Annual Penguin Plunge in Atlantic Beach, North Carolina will take place on January 1st, 2010 at 1:00 PM, at the Atlantic Beach Circle.  Be there or be square!  We attend every year, and some of us actually take the plunge, others cheer on the side lines taking photos.  Either way, it is loads of fun and if you are planning to be in the area, you definitely want to stop by.  Just follow the sound as you cross over the Atlantic Beach Causeway...you can hear the shrieking from miles away as feet hit the water!


Atlantic Beach North CarolinaPenguin Plunge is a non-profit corporation that seeks to raise funds for local Carteret County charities through the annual Penguin Plunge New Year's Day event.  The 2010 Penguin Plunge will raise funds to support Martha’s Kitchen and Hope Mission.  They are a very important organization in our community,  as they continuously provide much-needed assistance to those in need during our current challenging economic environment.

Amy...I think that I have seen this (at least something like it) on the Today show.  What a great way to raise awareness and money for the charities.  Have a great time!

 i am going to be square... I tried that once and couldn't get warm for a week!  It was fun, and a feeling I never had before in my life. :)

I won't even get in the shower until the water is all warmed up!

These people are nuts! But it's always fun going to see them take the plunge!

Paul - I will be there, but with a coat, scarf and hat.  I am the family photographer (also the smart one).

Toula - I got chilly writing the blog!

Craig - They are nuts...my parents, my sister and brother-in-law, my friends.  I am the only one sane enough to stand on the beach with my blankie!

Amy - you're turning into a regular Craig Rutman with your Santa hat & holly photo. But I think you need to lend that hat to those Penguins.

Well, Amy, you captured the event very well.  Be sure to get NO pictures of me this year as I run in and out as fast as I can.  How did I get talked into this?!

Marian - No pictures of you? LOL...that will be a whole different blog!  Beware!

Dan - No thank you!  I can't even make myself do the plunge here...I do not handle cold very well, but have so much fun at this event watching everyone else.
