Folks from across Northeast Georgia will ‘plunge’ into the new year Saturday at Unicoi State Park near Helen. The park’s lake will again be the site of the annual Winter Black Bear Plunge.
The Friends of Unicoi State Park hosts the annual event. Group president Kathryn Vasquez says that along with a chilly dip in the lake, participants can enjoy a bonfire, music, hot dogs and chili, and a raffle.
“We will have an EMT on standby, DJ, raffle baskets, and food,” she told WRWH News in Cleveland.
No pre-registration is required. On-site registration will begin at 10 a.m. at Unicoi Beach on Saturday, January 7. The event will continue through 12 noon.
Registration is $10 per individual and $25 for a family of four. The plunge takes place at 11:30 am.
