Bear Lake Winterfest

bear-lake-winterfestOne of the most fun things to do in the winter is to UnPlug and join in the Garden City, UT winter festivities!   My favorite of all the fun is the Monster Polar Plunge.  Believe it or not, the crazy locals and non locals, get together and plunge into the frozen Bear Lake!   This year there were over 70 plus daring the cold, wicked cold.  It was even -1 degree in the am and there was even ice re-forming on the water while waiting for the first plunge!

The temps were so cold that there was 5″ of ice on the top layer of the water, local search and rescue spent an hour chainsawing thru the ice to clear way for the monster plunge!

And this is what crazy people do, when they decide to unplug from media and join in the local fun of Bear Lake Monster Winter Fest!   Way to be brave Team Gilligan!  You won ‘best plunge’ of the day for sure:

So, if you ever need to find a way to disconnect; when you’re bored and looking for things to do; instead of immediately going to your electronic device; video game; television… think of something crazy, something fun, something daring and go out there and take the plunge!

Happy UnPlugging!
