WHAT IS THE POLAR POUT PLUNGE?

In 2011 thousands of people watched 188 plungers jump, flip, belly-flop and dance their way into Leech Lake’s icy waters to benefit the Walker Area Community Center. The 8th annual Polar Pout Plunge, held in front of the Chase Hotel during the 32nd International Eelpout Festival, brought in a cool $50,760 for the WACC.

The Walker Area Community Center is the home of the Boys and Girls Clubs of America, Walker Rotary Club, Leech Lake Area Youth Hockey, Walker Curling Club, Fitness Center, Gymnasium, a large community meeting space and the quaint Ringle Library meeting room. The WACC hosts many more groups and events that bring thousands of visitors to the Walker area.

Individuals and teams collect money from sponsors (a.k.a. those too chicken to jump) and take the plunge. Minimum cost to participate is $50.

You will plunge into shallow water, about four feet deep. Do not jump head first. The Lakes Area Dive Team will be in the water to assist jumpers, if necessary. After the plunge you can retreat to heated facilities within the Chase Hotel. Call 218-507-0621 for more information.
