Assuring Polar Bear Jump On Feb. 20

polar bear lotoGOODYEAR LAKE – Jamie Waters was fishing on Goodyear Lake this weekend, and reports the ice is 8 inches thick, assuring the annual Polar Bear Jump will proceed normally on Saturday, Feb. 20.

Waters, who, with wife Brenda, founded the event 20 years ago and continues to organize it, reminds fans the Chinese auction to benefit the jump is this Sunday, Jan. 31, at Milford Central School.  The auction begins at 12:30 and the drawing is at 2:30.

The organizer said he had scoped out the lake shore with a contractor recently in the event a dock would have to be built to accommodate the event, but said it doesn’t seem that will be necessary now.
