The sun was no consolation for the nearly 60 plungers, many who arrived in costume, braving a 30-inch tall, 12-foot wide pool with bags of ice in it, provided by Manhattan Brewing Company. The plunge-time temperature Saturday at noon was just 56 degrees.
Organizers say over $14,000 was raised surpassing this year’s goal of $13,000, to benefit Special Olympics Kansas. Last year’s Polar Plunge was cancelled due to the pandemic.
