The Third Annual Event of the Polar Bear Club drew the usual crowd of two
spectators and one now veteran participant, J. R. Jarosh. At attempt at choreography was
made by staging an auxiliary plunge off nearby Cave Point, which wasn’t
any warmer than expected. AP, UP, CNN, NBC, ABC and CBS were notable by their
absence.
This year the launching of a similar event was attempted in
Baileys Harbor by Heidi Reiche. Heidi convinced Green Bay TV station channel
5 to send a
camera. Unfortunately, it was operated by a person who lost an
argument with the ice shelf, rendering the person wet, the camera inoperable
and the pictures unobtainable.
Perhaps this is why that TV station had cold feet about reporting about
Polar Bears for the next few years.
The next year J. R. and Heidi wisely joined forces.
