The Lincoln Lakes Polar Plunge is coming up this weekend. Attendees are asked to please, if possible park vehicles at the Knights of Columbus and take advantage of the shuttle, as parking is limited at the lake. Parking will be made available at the lake for persons with disabilities.

The day, according to Joanie Keys of Special Olympics Illinois Central Area 10 is shaping up to be a really wonderful event. Among the special speakers at the plunge this year will be Lincoln Mayor Marty Neitzel and Lincoln College President Dr. David Gerlach.

Opening ceremonies at the lake will begin at 11:45 a.m. with the plunge starting at noon.

After the plunge there will be a party at the Knights of Columbus with food and lots of great prizes including a 40' Samsung Smart TV (for college students, high school and elementary), Fit Bit Fitness Package, a Handyman gift package and a Grill Masters Dream Package.

Midwest Central High School is among four organizations recently awarded project funding from the Central Chapter of the Illinois Native Plant Society (INPS) as part of a competitive application process. The two-year project, “Restoring the Pollinator Prairies of Illinois,” will be overseen by teacher Julie DeSutter. The $5,000 award will build on previous native plant-related projects at Midwest Central High School. Midwest Central will be planting nearly two acres of unproductive district property in Native Pollinator Prairie grass.
