 I shared earlier the video from the Polar Plunge in 2010.This is the Polar Plunge from 2009. I am looking forward to seeing what they all come up with for 2011. This is a not to miss event if you live in the Allyn, Belfair, or Grapeview area. The money raised benefits the Boys and Girls club!

On Saturday January 24, 2009 a generous festive assemblage of  North Mason Community supporters of the Boys and Girls Club gathered in the early morning at the Allyn Waterfront Park for the 14th annual Polar Plunge.

Our own Active Rain Blogger and Real Estate Associate, Josh Murphy, came outfitted to brave the frigid waters of Puget Sound.

Adorned in Windermere Blue tights, white boxer shorts, Windermere Blue Tee shirt, goggles and black bow tie and finished with a long white cape, Josh  "Windermere Man"  Murphy prepared to his place along the pebbly shoreline.

Josh"Windermere Man"Murphy, with the strength of mind of a veteran Plunger, ambled into the glacial waters with stoic demeanor.

Having completed his Community obligation and raising funds for the Boys and Girls Club, Josh "Windermere Man" Murphy bravely announced - "That was Cold as *&%$ Dude"!

 

I and my staff want to thank Josh "Windermere man" and all the other brave, insane and certifiables for their support of the Boys and Girls Club and look forward to their return to the Next Polar Plunge.

Brrr....looks cold.  What was the temperature when they id this?  I have read about some of these events when the temps are in the single digits.  In NYC they have a Polar Bear Club.

Giggle out Loud! Fun post, Dinah! I joined the Polar Bear Club in Barrow, Alaska - we dove in right next to ice bergs!  Cold but great fun!
