PORTLAND, Maine — Winter dippers braved the frigid waters of Casco Bay at Portland’s East End Beach on Monday.
The event was part of the Natural Resources Council of Maine’s annual New Year’s Eve Polar Bear Dip and Dash fundraiser which included a 5k run and a quick dunk in the water.



Much more valid cause than the PETA demonstrations.
So the climate controlers, are pushing global warming again..
Do these people actually think they can controll the weather/climate.
Have you ever taken the time to read a little bit of scientific literature?…I wish it weren’t true, but it is…we’re warming, whether you believe it or not!
Wait, I thought it was global cooling and we were going to freeze to death in a new ice age? Oh ya, that was the stupid liberal craze of the 80’s.
Wait long enough and the libs will use the cooling argument as proof-positive evidence that it IS warming! Welcome to liberal bizarro world.
too bad BDN Staff didn’t bother to write something about the NRCM… this is nothing but a headline for the picture. Must have had the day off..
Stupidity in action.
Mean, mean, mean BDN editors for pushing Redneck buttons.
