While most everyone is avoiding the frigid outdoor temperatures, a brave bunch of area residents are gearing up for the 2019 Special Olympics Polar Plunge, which takes place a week from this Saturday at Metea County Park. Plungers are seeking donations to benefit Special Olympics athletes around the state, and ensure continued opportunity for participation at all levels of activity. For a sneak Peek at what this celebration means to both state and county Olympic organizations, WBOI's Julia Meek sat down with event chair, Jake Pickett, and Olympian, Alise Hazelett, to learn about the cause, plunge day's festivities, and the satisfaction to be found in "freezin' for a reason." WBOI Artcentric is brought to you by WBOI’s own Julia Meek and Ben Clemmer. Our theme music is “Me voy pal campo'' by KelsiCote. Our administrative assistant is Olivia Fletter. Our production assistants are Monica Blankenship, Steve Mullaney, Kyle Norbeck, Diahmynd Thomas, Mikaela Veltum, and Sydney Wagner.
