Participants in last Saturday’s Polar Plunge jump into one of two above-ground pools set up for the event after the high water levels of the New River from recent rains prevented the event from being held at the river. The New River Valley Polar Plunge is an annual event held in Radford to raise funds for Special Olympics. “It was a chilly 38 degrees and overcast; the mood was festive and the water was cold,” Radford Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Dan McKinney said. “The event raised over $56,000 dollars; what a great achievement.”
