So I was honored to shoot the Rollx Vans Polar Plunge on Prior Lake again this year. The weather was not ideal by any means infact it down right sucked. Kevin headed this event up for the second year with 28 plungers raising about $2800! Even Austin jumped! The wind was pretty strong and the snow flakes were the size of quarters accumulating a couple inches an hour. NOT good for video equipment and probably worse for jumping into a nearly frozen lake. We ended up rushing through the shoot missing a lot of what I had planned. I was prepared for anything but snow! Seriously, when we left the house it was rather nice, by the time we got to Prior the snow wouldn't let up. I showed up around noon to set up while the gang was at Buffalo Wild Wings talking shit and mustaring up some liquid courage! Some had a hard time talking after the plunge. I wasnt sure if it was the cold water or liquid courage? Glad it came out as good as it did!

The Polar Bear Plunge is sponsored by the Minnesota Law Enforment which raises over $3,000,000 annually! More than 15,000 plungers jumped in16 events. The proceeds got to the Minnesota Special Olympics. Don't know about you but, I can't think of a better place to or a better cause!  

Rollx Vans Polar Plunge by Dan DelieAgain this year I was honored to shoot and be a part of the annual Polar Bear Plunge on Prior Lake. This event raises over 3 million dollars which goes to the Minnesota Special Olympics. This year the weather was especially windy and cold. The snow was coming down an inch or two an hour. I had to keep shoveling snow off my head and face so I didn't look like a snow man. No one got hurt and everyone had some good laughs!
