Polar Plunge

About 30 daring people threw caution to the wind when they took the notorious Polar Plunge on an unusually warm New Year’s Day at Riverside Park in Polson.

“It’s nice to know you can have that 20 seconds of courage when you need it,” Polson’s unofficial event organizer, Connie Bull, said as she dried her shivering limbs after running and dunking her body into Flathead Lake. “We don’t have a very good reason for it, but it’s been a family event for us forever and it’s great to see all the people who do it just for the fun of it.”
