The winter solstice sees people doing crazy things to mark the shortest day of the year. Polar Bear plunges in the middle of a Northern hemisphere winter, and now a local Penguin Plunge into the Klein River in Stanford, Western Cape.
Local residents and any other brave Overberg souls will be lining up on the jetty of the River Lodge on Sunday 25th June to leap into the icy waters. Their reward? A comforting mug of gluwhein, and a glow in their hearts knowing that they will contribute to a needy cause in the local community.
A challenge was set to one of the big-hearted local residents, who rose to the fore and turned the occasion into a fun event, with the spin off to raise funds for local charities.
Springfontein Wines will generously sponsor the wine, and Hennie - of the famed Hennie’s Pub and Grill - will be ladling the gluwhein.
Join Penguin Tutoring and support this worthy cause, or take up the challenge and organise your own Penguin Plunge - your pool, perhaps?
