Thank you Trevor Rhea, Adam Berg- strom for putting the tent up and down for the chilly plunge participants as well as, Stacy Lauritsen and Peter Wenberg for assist- ing Trevor Rhea with add- ing snow to the pool for the ice berg effect. Thank you to Skip Matthews, and Kim Cutsforth for letting me use the Willow Creek District Fitness Park park- ing lot to place the water trough that was donated and placed by Jamie Hel- frecht, and Justin Fennern (Green Feed) it worked out perfect! I also wanted to thank my Aunt Rita, my daughter Lindsey and my granddaughter Oakleigh for volunteering to help. It would not have been a success without all of your help, and the support of the community. I was so happy that we had 5 brave plung- ers, and I hope to see more next year for the event. The Fuzz Ball Pet Rescue fundraiser raised $700, and that will help out a lot of animals in need.
