Like Ducks, Participants Dunk Into Icy Chesapeake
The inaugural Susquehanna Hose Company Duck Dunk was held Saturday morning.
It was weather for a duck.
Perfect, really.
The inaugural Susquehanna Hose Company Duck Dunk was held Saturday morning at the City Yacht Basin in Tydings Park, hours after snow and ice blanketed the Upper Chesapeake Bay area.
More than 40 people plunged into the frigid waters of the Yacht Basin via a recently-revamped launch ramp.
Air temperature barely reached the low-30s.
Some dunkers went completely underwater, others went most of the way in. While some ran for the cover of heated tents, a few brave souls mustered up the courage for a second dunk moments after coming out of the icy water.
Some dunkers raised more than $500 in pledges to the Susquehanna Hose Company, the beneficiary of the charity event.
