It's a New year 2012. 10:00AM New Years day I walked down to the river by Belvidere Park to see who would participate in Enderby's first, that I know of, Polar Bear Swim. As I got closer, the only signs of something about to happen were balloons placed in strategically along the River Walk leading down to the water. The temperature was -5C and there was a cool breeze.

| Patricia Ceck in tie dyed long johns was the organizer of this event. Marc Ferland. |
 |
| Arriving are the sisters; Adele & Anne Lacoursiere and a female Santa Sylvia Ketterer. |
 |
| How deep is it? |
 |
| Watching in anticipation. |
 |
| The swimmers waiting for the countdown. Dave Poirier, Gayle Hemrich, Anne Lacoursiere, Jette Russell, Adele Lacoursiere, Patricia Ceck, Sylvia Ketterer, Marc Ferland. |
 |
| The plunge. |
 |
| Were's my hat? |
 |
| Refreshing. "That wasn't so bad." |
 |
| The crowd. "No thanks I'll just watch." |
 |
| Getting ready for the walk back to the Chamber of Commerce for cookies and a hot drink. |
 |
| Did I miss all the fun in the water? |
All my best wishs to you and yours in the new year to come 2012!
