Over 70, including Potsdam mayor and supervisor, plunge into frigid Raquette River

Posted

HANNAWA FALLS — Over 70 people participated in the 2nd Annual Postwood Polar Plunge hosted by the Clarkson Student Occupational Therapy Department and the Town of Potsdam on Saturday.

The event was held at the Postwood Park Beach on a windy morning, March 9, with temperatures near 50 °F.

A mixture of Clarkson University and SUNY Potsdam students, as well as local community members, jumped or dove into the Raquette River.

Potsdam Town Supervisor Marty Miller, Potsdam Town Councilwoman Allyssa Hardiman, and Potsdam Village Mayor Alex Wilke were among those who braved the cold water plunge.

The event was hosted by Clarkson Student Occupational Therapy Department and the Town of Potsdam.

 The plunge was a fundraiser for Renewal House.
