Real Estate Agent with At Home Kansas BR00225772


Have you ever wanted to jump into a frozen lake?  The Shawnee, Kansas Polar Bear Plunge event gives thrill seekers the opporutnity to run into the icy cold waters of Shawnee Mission Park Beach while raising money for the Special Olympics.  

The Polar Bear Plunge takes place at various locations around the United States and it is always held in the winter, typically in January when the water is freezing.

Groups can even register to take the plunge  into the frozen lake together!  

With it being June now, you can still enjoy Shawnee Mission Park Beach, but the water is MUCH warmer right now!  : )  So bring your family out and enjoy the beautiful park Shawnee has to offer, and remember the Kansas City Polar Bear Plunge when the weather turns cold this winter!

Rob, Kansas City in January has to be one of the coldest Polar Plunges in the country? It's for a good cause though.

My son took part in the plunge a couple years back and was fortunate to have a warm day when he jumped in, but there was still 3-4 in. of ice that had to be broken through before the event took place.  Brrrr!

Rob, A cool splash in summer is one thing. I don't think my heart would take a January plunge no matter what the cause is. I would surely sponsor someone who did it though.

If I were visiting Lawrence Kansas, I would rather take the Polar Bear Plunge with Rob Lang than anyone else I can think of.  And, probably use him to list my home or buy one!  He is the expert in Lawrence Kansas after all!

Thanks Don!  I'd be happy to help you buy a home in Lawrence, but I agree with Debbie- I'd rather sponser someone than to be the one to jump in the frozen lake!
