Ice Hole Bar held their Second Annual Polar Plunge on Lake Lida right after the Pelican Rapids Jaycees Annual Fishing Derby. This year the Jaycees Derby booth was right next to the plunge so there was an even larger crowd gathered to watch the participants. The weather was a lot warmer than it was last year and everyone was ready for the big SPLASH!

The brave participants were Brian, Ben, Erick, Dillan, Jesse, Chris, Brandon, Ross, Iver, Josh, Darrin; thanks guys for doing an exceptional job pleasing the crowd! A couple of them even jumped in the water twice!

Thanks to Ice Hole Bar for putting together such a wonderful event and for donating some of the proceeds to Dough 4 Joe.

Thank you to everyone there that kept the participants safe:

Ringdahl Ambulance and Midwest Towing and Water Rescue.

It was a heartwarming event, we had lots of visitors at our booth. Even Dawson and his family stopped by to support the event and watch the jumpers.

12-year-old donates $500 to Dough 4 Joe

When presented with the opportunity to donate $500 to a charity of his choice, 12-year-old Dominick Hanson had no problem choosing where the money would go.

Dough 4 Joe is a charity that helps families in times of need, raising funds through donations and an annual motorcycle run at the end of July. The Hanson family has been involved in the event for many years, with Dominick’s father, Cameron, serving on the board, and his mother, Tiffany, as the vendor coordinator. The opportunity came through Dominick’s Confirmation class at Augustana Lutheran Church in Fergus Falls, by a grant from the Beverly and Lloyd Paulson Foundation. Each child in the class got to select a charity to donate to.

The check was donated to Dough 4 Joe in late December.

“Tiffany called and said, “You wouldn’t believe what Dominick is doing!”” said Stan Johnson, the director and founder of Dough 4 Joe, adding that the charity tries to “help families like people did for us. It’s just giving back to the community.”
