Elm City Parks Conservancy invites you
to First Day New Haven Winter Festival featuring the 10th annual
Polar Plunge for Parks.
January 1st
11am-3pm
@ the Carousel
Lighthouse Park, New Haven
First Day is a family oriented event and a fun, exciting and invigorating way to begin the New Year.
ECPC’s Polar Plungers are the brave souls who jump into the icy waters of Long Island Sound to raise money for New Haven’s fanstastic neighborhood parks and community environmental groups.
Each year on January 1st, brave souls around the world start the New Year by plunging into icy water. Head on over to the Carousel at Lighthouse Point Park for the Elm City Parks Conservancy’s Winter Festival, 11 AM - 3 PM, for fun activities featuring New Haven’s version of this time-honored and wonderfully wacky tradition, POLAR PLUNGE for PARKS. Are you a brave soul willing to jump into the icy waters to raise money for New Haven’s spectacular parks
(like East Rock Park?) Then PLUNGE!
If you are only a semi-brave soul then WATCH!
All you can eat brunch $10 person -- plungers eat free! Plungers also get exclusive use of the hot tubs where you’re bound to meet new friends.
For more information & registration and pledge forms, check out this website: http://firstdayplunge-nh.yolasite.com/
SHE’LL JUMP FOR FERP (Friends of East Rock Park)! but only with your help and kind donation!)
Rachel Smith, a Wilbur Cross High School freshman will be freez'n for a reason again at this year’s Polar Plunge for Parks event on January 1st at Lighthouse Point Park! Elm City Parks Conservancy shares part of the pledge money raised by Rachel with her favorite local park or open space, so funds raised over her registration fee support FRIENDS OF EAST ROCK PARK!
Cheers and Happy Holidays to New Haven and ALL it's wonderful parks!
