Location:
Kure Beach Boardwalk
Description of Event (Please share as much info as you can):
This was the second year in a row the Carolina Garrison has trooped the Special Olympics Polar Plunge event at Kure Beach. At least it was warmer this year! Still very windy. We set up our basecamp, changed into costume and toured the boardwalk and park. The event is a race and a plunge into the ocean. Teams dress up in costumes, so seeing Vader, Fett and and a Stormtrooper seemed sort of normal. Great atmosphere and lots of people! We trooped until the race started and then had a photoshoot on the beach, which is becoming a tradition.
