Polar Bear Plunge in Hartwell Saturday

Saturday’s Polar Bear Plunge in Hartwell might not be that well…polar-y.

The 19th annual Polar Bear Plunge was moved from Saturday, February 28 to this Saturday, due to concerns about the weather, but temperatures tomorrow are expected to be in the upper 50s to low 60s.

Sponsored by the Northeast Georgia Council on Domestic Violence, board chair Jan Hall says everyone is invited to don their craziest costume and come jump for a good cause.

“All they need to do is show up,” Hall said. “All the donations are going 100% to the Northeast Georgia Council on Domestic Violence.”

Even though the date has been changed, everything else stays the same. Registration for the plunge will take place at the Hartwell Marina at 11:30a. A costume contest and the actual plunge take place at 12:30p.

Prizes will be awarded for the best costumes.

And as in past years, there will be hot dogs, chili, chips and beverages available for sale. All proceeds will go to benefit the Northeast Georgia Council on Domestic Violence.

For information on how to participate, you can contact the Northeast Georgia Council on Domestic Violence at 706-377-4884.
