I am stepping away from business for a day...and letting everyone in on a little fun we had this afternoon!
My husband, took the PLUNGE! The POLAR plunge into Green Lake. Yep, that is a hole cut into our frozen lake!
Every year our little town of Spicer hosts this event. It benefits down syndrome & the Special Olympics. Today $32,000.00 was raised due to this event. 200 people volunteered to jump in the hole that they cut into Green Lake. Chris jumped representing the SFD (Spicer Fire Department). He has been a volunteer with the department since 1994.
It was a blast for the boys to see their dad tiptoe across the ice in his bare feet and then HIT THE WATER hard making a huge splash!
We live only one block away from this beautiful lake and thoroughly enjoy it in all seasons. It is one of the cleanest lakes in Minnesota. Our little town goes from a quiet little Spicer, MN: population 1,200 - to a resort community in the summer. It is a cozy place to call home.
