Penguin Plunge – New Years Day - Narragansett RI Real Estate is Amazing. Balmy oceanfront Narragansett RI was the scene for a fantastic fundraiser for Special Olympics at Roger Wheeler State Beach in the village of Galilee this New Year’s Day 2012. Time of the big penguin splash for participants was Noon time. Now I have supported and been an annual voyeur at these events year after year. BUT yesterday I have never seen the number of people like there were on the beach or lined up trying to get into the parking lot from over a mile and a half down the road!
It was an awesome experience …the state parking lot was full of cars, buses and limousines, no less! I guess if you are going to freeze your kiesta off, you
should go home in style! Well my pictures show a bit of the craziness of enthusiasm for this ocean penguin plunge beach in the village of Galilee this New Year’s Day 2012.
It was a mild 50 something degrees, sun was blazing and you still needed a jacket to stay warm. Music from the podium was blasting Neil Diamond’s ‘Sweet Caroline’ to the beach crowd. Did you see the 30 foot Penguin blow up too!
My friend Janice and her family members were doing the Penguin Plunge and we wanted to support her. First time ocean plungers were rewarded by their sense of accomplishment and supporting a great program like Special Olympics.
Did you see the goosebumps on those crazy ocean going Rhode Islanders! This is a big deal in Rhode Island…there had to be over 20 Penguin Plunge events throughout the state from Barrington to Westerly RI. All to raise money for great causes and charities…makes you proud of your fellow RI residents. So next year think about making it down to a piece of Narragansett RI real estate…there are plenty of beaches to join in at for this venture!
