14th Annual Juniata Valley Ymca Polar Plunge Set for January 18

The 14th Annual Juniata Valley YMCA Polar Plunge is set for Saturday, January 18, at Greenwood Furnace State Park in Huntingdon. Those who choose to participate will brave the icy waters of Greenwood Lake to raise funds for YMCA youth programs. Organizers encourage plungers to dress up in costumes, with divisions for adults and kids requiring minimum donations of $50 and $25, respectively. Proceeds support community programs and financial aid for local youth. The event is part of SnowFest, featuring other activities like a trail race, bonfire, and educational exhibits. Registration begins at noon, with the plunge at 2:30 p.m. Again, that’s on January 18th.
