Title: Anybody From Fairfax Doing The Penquin Plunge Today??
Post by: Henry on February 07, 2009, 08:52:42 AM

Back a few years ago, young Marc Bessette used to do it every year, but to the best of my knowledge, he was the only one.  Haven't heard of anyone in recent years.  Heard the weatherman say last night that it might get up to 40 degrees and saw a backhoe breaking the ice for a spot for the Penquin Plunge.  They mentioned that might make the Penquin Plunge better for the participants, but somehow I doubt that.

If you know of someone participating, let us know.

In case some of you are not aware, this is for the benefit of The Special Olympics - There is an article, plus a short video showing S D Ireland breaking up the ice so the participants can jump in.  S D Ireland does a lot of Charity Work and this is just one of them.  If you would like to see some of the preparation for the Penquin Plunge today at 11 a.m., click on the following link:
