Navarre Beach will have its own coldwater dip on Jan. 1, 2010 to welcome in the New Year. The event is taking place outside of Juana’s Pagoda and Sailor’s Grill, and it will last from noon to 2 p.m. with door prizes, free food and drinks for participants. And for the true penguins out there, try “The Wave of Challenge” where you can ride a tube behind a jet ski.
To take part in the festivities, whether you decide to jump in the water or not, you must register either online (active.com) or in person, and the cost is $25. The motto is “Freezing for a Reason.” And what is the reason, you may ask. Well, all benefits are going to support The Escarosa Coalition for the Homeless.
What a way to welcome in the new year with good food and good fun. But after all that is said and done, just think of your warm condo awaiting you with a fully furnished kitchen ready to make hot coffee or hot cocoa.
It’s 2010. It’s a new year. Get away and take the plunge, or sit back and watch those who do. Happy New Year!
