Ohio’s first Polar Plunge of 2011 to benefit Special Olympics of Ohio will be at 1:30 p.m. Jan. 22 at Mosquito Lake State Park.

Registration is now being accepted. Those who don’t want to participate in the plunge still can be part of the Too Chicken to Plunge activity.

Plunge participants are asked to obtain at least $75 in monetary pledges (or $50 for students) and then jump or crawl into the frigid waters of Mosquito Lake to earn their pledges.

Too Chicken to Plunge participants are asked to raise a minimum of $30. They will be awarded a Too Chicken to Plunge T-shirt.
