Taking the plunge...

Representatives with the local Lions Club chapter dive into the city pool at Richard Aguirre Park during the Fourth Annual Penguin Plunge on Saturday. Dozens of individuals took the plunge at the local park to help raise more than $4,000 for the High Hopes Special Olympics team in Mountain Home, said Laurie LaFollette, CEO with Special Olympics Idaho. The plunge comes as the local athletes prepare for this year's Special Olympics state finals, which are scheduled for June in Twin Falls.
