Cloudy, and with an east wind picking up, the Jacksonport beach was again littered with people with nothing better to do with their day.

Shoreline conditions were good this year, unlike Hawaii, which has a critical shortage of snow and ice, we hear.

Thanks to Chris & Steve Vuco, Dennis Connolly, and the Jarosh family for helping with the photos. Dennis doubled as interviewer for the video that was shown on Sturgeon Bay’s Cable Channel 18.

Liz Junion, a teacher at SS. Peter & Paul School, promised her class that she would be a polar bear if they read enough books. They did, so she did. What will she do to motivate her class next year?
A happy-hatted group.
Just in case the ice catches fire,
the Jacksonport Fire Dept. is ready.
Swim registration is a must, while Tom
& Marge Jung collect food for Feed My People.
Scott helps Joe Jarosh
keep the unruly crowd in line.
Getting ready means getting bare.
The crowd grows as the ice floes.
Strange – some Packers are Bears. Whooda thunk?
Spectators play chicken.
See you next year!
