Those of you who know me, are keenly aware I am not one for numbers...but through this cold spell I have had time to think about quite a few significant events in the year just past...by the #s.
4 - The # of pounds the bass caught by Michael Cornell weighed this past Summer.
30 - The # of years KK's has been in business ...
60 - Fly In Fish Boil
65 - Scandinavian Dance Fest
85 - Trinity Lutheran Church
...in the 90's ... Birthday Babes!
...and those were just the birthdays in December!
On to 2014... the Polar Plunge #s +
6 ... as in Degrees ... a cold one this year...
7 ... as in participants ... Schoolhouse Beach was so iced in, a hole had to be cut - with a chainsaw - the day before...and the water skimmed repeatedly before the event. Yes, there might be a bit of a glaze in the photo above. (Melody Walsh Photo)
