Happy New Year!

2018 began with cold temperatures and icy windchills, but that didn't stop Central Texans from enjoying the New Year's Day Polar Plunge.

If it wasn't for the wind this morning it may not have seemed like Alaska outside, but it was pretty close to it. It may have been warmer in the pool than standing next to it. The video below shows off a couple belly flop contestants, and then I almost fell in trying to film them 'cause I lost track of the edge of the pool. It was cold!

In what is expected to be an annual event with Temple Parks, Lions Junction Water Park plans to host the event each time we turn over the calendar. Enjoy your New Year's Day. We wish everyone a happy and healthy 2018!!
