Polar Bear Plunge

Volunteer workers are in the Portage Canal shoveling ice out of the ol' swimming hole .
Once cleared of ice the ol' swimming hole like the hundreds of on lookers wait for all the swimmers. 
neither of these two bears ever took the plunge. They probably are waiting for the est costume award. 
onlookers waited on the cold ice covered canal for the first contestant. Meanwhile, the pier was crowded and many, many  more people lined the shoreline at the Ramads Inn
The first of the swimmers arrive while many more leave the Ramada swimming pool area.
 
coming back up the hill, swimmers did the Polar Bear Hop!
Think they're anxious to get back into the heated pool?
