Brrrrrring the crazy
Yup, that’s me on the sidelines, doctor’s orders. Otherwise I would totally bare my winter-white belly and flop into the chilly waters of Long Lake. People who know me know I’m the Polar Bear Plungiest person around! Not. But if you are thrillin’ with the chillin’, take the plunge while other (less Norwegian) people watch and drink cocoa. ‘Nuff said. Free. All ages. Long Lake Park, 2790 Carpenter Road S.E., Lacey. Thursday, Jan. 1, noon; plunge at 1 p.m.
