With the water warmer than the air, a bright sunny day greeted about 500 people who showed off their courage to several thousand much dryer people who tried to stay on the shore. That was not an easy task, as a large chunk of ice broke off just as the countdown reached “2...1” and everyone jumped at once! The usual Green Bay TV crews chewed up some tape and a few spectators came by kayak. Joe Jarosh showed off his MC talents on the bullhorn as the countdown drew near.

Credits: The happy group of “Survivors” and “Bill’s Shorts” photos were submitted by Marci Martin. Boyd Fellows supplied the pix with his name in the corner. Julie Honeyman took the ones of the St. Bernard and her husband & son on their 3rd annual swim. It’s getting to be a habit.

This way, polar bears...
Balmy weather to these huskies
The crowd just keeps coming
Redskins waiting for someone to rescue
Joe Jarosh works the bull...er, horn
