Wenatchee Police Chief Looking To Take The Plunge
Two very cool events are coming to the Wenatchee Valley: The Special Olympics Winter Games and the annual Polar Plunge.
"Since 1992, the City of Wenatchee has been involved with Special Olympics and we are home to the Winter (Special) Olympics." Wenatchee Police Chief Steve Crown said in front of the Wenatchee City Council.
To help raise money for the Special Olympics, Chief Crown put out a challenge to his colleagues.
"As a law enforcement group, raise 23-thousand dollars (for the Special Olympics)." Chief Crown added.
Chief Crown says he will jump into the Columbia River at Walla Walla Point Park in a polar bear suit Friday, March 3rd, but only if the police department reaches their fundraising goal.
