(Press Release) NORTH PLATTE - It's that time of year again where warm-hearted people take a very cold dip for a good cause.&nbsp; For the first time, a polar plunge will be held in North Platte.

<b>Time: 11am (check-in begins at 10am)</b>

<i>(Post News Director Canon Rath chatted with Nate Veal about the upcoming Polar Plunge event coming to North Platte. Check out the podcast above to here the duo conversation.)</i>

The Polar Plunge is an annual event that challenges participants to show support for the Special Olympics Nebraska by plunging into a lake - in the dead of winter. Plungers are encouraged to form teams, dress in costume and share their experience by using the hashtag #BeBoldGetCold.&nbsp;

Those brave enough to run into the icy waters raise money by collecting pledges from family and friends. Prizes are awarded for creativity and fundraising. Proceeds from the Polar Plunge support over 6,000 Nebraskans with intellectual and development disabilities who participate in Special Olympics Nebraska.

Join us! Don't miss the opportunity to capture the excitement and spirit of this remarkable event. Plungers and law enforcement volunteers who are actively involved with the Special Olympics Nebraska movement will be present and eager to share their inspiring sorties and enthusiasm for the cause.

"We are so excited to add another location to our Polar Plunges this year. We look forward to seeing the North Platte community come together to support the amazing athletes of Special Olympics Nebraska," said Carolyn Chamberlin, President and CEO of Special Olympics Nebraska.

There will be a post-plunge party immediately following the event at Axes and Aces in North Platte.

The program helps youth opportunities to learn and develop life skills and learn knowledge and proper ways of taking care of companion animals.&nbsp;

When it comes to participating in the event, the 4-H'rs need to have their animal ready for a judgement. Animals need to be prepped for shows and it takes time to get them ready. "Depending on the animal, but dogs you have to groom them, give them a bath, get their carrier ready and they're ready to go," said Josh Ewald.&nbsp;

Joelle Ewald, who competed in the 4-H Companion Animal Project last year entered her cat into the show. "Last year, I entered my cat Pumpkin into the show, and I got to talk to the judge which was so much fun," said Joelle Ewald.&nbsp;&nbsp;
