Q:
Why did Batman go into the lake with a bag of jelly
beans?
A: Because
he wanted a 'sweet' experience at the Lincoln Lakes
Polar Plunge!
Saturday, dozens of plungers took part in that sweet
experience of dipping themselves in the chilly
waters of Lincoln Lakes to raise money for Special
Olympics. The Batman and Jelly Bean duo were not the
only ones to take the plunge in amusing costumes.
And even when the sharks came out, no one hesitated
to do their part for the special fundraiser.
