Evergreen Lake Plunge Canceled Due To Warm Weather- Again!

EVERGREEN, Colo. (CBS4) - Warm weather hasn't canceled the Evergreen Lake Plunge just once, but twice.

It was canceled on New Year's Day because warm weather kept people off the ice at Evergreen Lake. Now, it's been canceled a second time because of warm weather.

The annual event had been rescheduled for Feb. 12 at noon at Evergreen Lake. CBS4 anchor Alan Gionet is a perennial host.

Hundreds of brave souls have been known to take the plunge as an annual rite. This year organizers were frustrated that the lake did not sufficiently ice over to hold the event on New Year's Day, but had to call it off for safety reasons. Now they have called it off again.

The Lake Plunge is not only hilarious, it's a fundraiser for Drive Smart and the special needs program in Evergreen.
