Each New Years Day, scores of people jump into the chilly Gulf of Mexico water. Some plungers wear costumes, others come out early to huddle around the bonfire before taking their dips.
After the plunge, celebrate with the community at Shunk Gulley Green space and enjoy live music!
A $20 donation is suggested, as all proceeds will supper free CPR classes for the community.
This event is open to all ages, and attendees are encouraged to bring a change of clothes. Following the plunge, guests will enjoy food, music and a bonfire.
