The 2025 BRR Polar Plunge was a big success. I think it was the biggest crowd ever! We had about 30 participating Barbour River Rats this year.

It's about time I uploaded a new group photo. Some people didn't stick around for the "after" group photo, but my "before" photos were all blurry. Apparently taking my phone from my warm pocket out to the cold air causes the lens to fog up.

Thanks to everyone who participated or just came to cheer them on. And thanks for the donations to the Barbour County Emergency Medical Squad.

Following are some enlargements of some smiling faces for you.

Sam Muncy is the SAP (Self-Appointed President) of the BRR (Barbour River Rats). He & his oldest grandson, Parker Muncy, are shown in this "before" picture of the '24 plunge. Today Sam will be interviewed about this event in "First News at Four" on WDTV between 4 & 5 o'clock. This will be the 19th plunge for the BRR, and it looks like we might have a good crowd!
