Ring in the New Year with Navarre's Penguin Plunge and Paddle

On Navarre Beach, Christmas was quiet and a little damp, but very pleasant. This weekend is New Years and here at Kilgore Realty - Navarre Vacation Rentals we want to wish you a safe and Happy New Years.

Navarre will be quiet without any festivities of its own for New Years Eve, but Pensacola will have its Pelican drop in downtown.

While Staying at Navarre Beach for New Years start 2012 off with a splash by being a part of the Penguin Plunge and Paddle taking place on Navarre Beach. Much like the Polar Bear dip that is so widely known, the Penguin plunge allows participants to contribute to a cause - The Fisher House on the Emerald Coast.

The Plunge is planned to take place at 1:30 p.m. behind Juana's Pagoda. However, there is also, for those less daring to take a dip into the cool waters, the Paddle Board contest. Participants must paddle a mile course. This contest will take place first at noon.

To participate as a plunger or as "chicken" register online at www.nwfevents.com or print out the entry form and turn in when you come. (By registering "Chicken" you will still be able to participate in the good food and warm beverages without having to risk life and limb in the cold January waters.) The cost is $25.

For those desiring to participate in the Paddle Board Competition - register as a SUP competitor. The cost for this is $30.

All registrants will receive free warm beverages and food. Set 2012 off with a bit of daring and come out to take part in the cold water and warm food. Happy New Years!
