In this conversation, I sit down with Mike Lambert from the Hood Canal Lions to talk about the upcoming Polar Bear Plunge at Alderbrook Resort and Spa. This event has been making a splash for 15 years, raising thousands for Mason County’s emergency services—including the dive team, marine patrol, and fire department. We cover everything from raffle prizes (think overnight stays at Alderbrook, golf rounds, and more) to event logistics, safety tips, and the growing impact of this community tradition.
Plus, we dive into the Charlie’s Vision Foundation, a partnership helping to support the Mason County Sheriff’s Department and their efforts to secure a new command vehicle.
If you’re planning to join, registration starts at 11:45 AM, and the first brave jumpers hit the icy water at 12:00 PM. Don’t forget foot protection (oyster shells are no joke!), a change of clothes, and cash for those raffle tickets. It’s all for a great cause, and it’s bound to be a fun day.
Come out, bundle up, and we’ll see you at the plunge!
