Dubois County Polar Plunge planned for February

ByMatthew Crane Reading Time: 1 minute

The Annual Dubois County Polar Plunge will take place in Ferdinand Forest State Park on February 20.

Proceeds from the Dubois County Plunge will be donated to the Lange-Fuhs Cancer Center and area food banks.

Sign up for the plunge for $20 and receive a free commemorative t-shirt; if you collect $50 in contributions, you can receive a commemorative towel. To sign up or for more information, contact Jay Fischer at 812-309-4196 or by email at admin@spf-football.org; or Eric Uebelhor at 812-639-9895 or ericjuebelhor@gmail.com.

All participants will sign a waiver and release forms. If under 18 years of age, will need a parent or guardian to sign waiver and release forms.

Participants should be at the park by 2 p.m. and the plunge begins at 3 p.m.

Tips for plunging:

  1. Bring a robe — great for putting on while waiting to go in and even better when you come out.
  2. Keep your feet covered until the last possible moment.
  3. Bring an extra towel or a blanket to stand on.
  4. Wear layer, loose fitting clothes — they’re easier to get into with cold fingers.
  5. NO DIVING or ENTERING THE WATER HEAD FIRST!
