Every year we enjoy the efforts of the New York State Police Dive Team.  They come early to search the shore (for hazards) and place the line of balloons into the chilly waters of Cayuga Lake.  Balloons you can only get if you are tough enough to brave the waters!!  And if you slip or struggle, the Dive Team will help you back onto your toes.   Thank you New York State Police Dive Team!!!  They always DIP to help us out.

Will you DIP or DODGE this year?

We are so grateful for the prizes donated by August Moon Spa and La Tourelle Hotel and Bistro.  A DIP in the lake on January 1st is an adventure to have, and getting to go to a Spa and spend the night at La Tourelle afterwards? A luxury. 

Will you DIP or will you DODGE? 

A big THANK YOU to MattBuildsWebsites.com!!   A local business that can help you with branding, logos, and web presence, and a business that is contributing a lot to help our party!    

Will you DIP, or will you DODGE on New Year's Day? 

Every year Bangs Ambulance sends a vehicle and some personnel to watch us DIP and party at the Yacht Club.  The rest of us DODGE and eat cake while sipping hot cocoa to keep warm.  Bangs is there if they are ever needed, and they are a foundational part of the event.   Thank you so much, Bangs Ambulance!! 

We are ramping up for the Chill Challenge and getting ready to DIP in the lake or DODGE and drink hot cocoa in the Yacht Club on January 1st.   Hazelnut Kitchen in Trumansburg is right there, ready to warm you up after you come out of the water, or prep you with some healthy comfort food along the way!  Check out their menu and thank them for supporting the Chill Challenge!!
