Lone Oak Farm Brewing Company is teaming up with Special Olympics Maryland to host the Pint Size Polar Bear Plunge on Saturday, July 20th from 12:00 to 5:00 pm as a 6-month kickoff to the 2025 MSP Polar Bear Plunge. The event raised $36,000 for Special Olympics Maryland last year.
The family-friendly event will allow you to experience inclusion on a fun-filled day of food, drinks, music from Special Olympics Maryland athletes, and two unique plunge experiences– Buy and enter pint size polar bears into the pond plunge for a chance to win prizes, and/or take the plunge yourself in a water-filled trough.
The Laytonsville Fire Department will be filling all the troughs, there will be a cornhole tournament along with other games, the DJ will be an athlete from the Special Olympics, and a large crane will drop 10,000 mini polar bears into the pound at 4:45pm. More info about both experiences below:
