Harbor Frost Saturday.... it's raining but the streets are packed!

Well despite the rain and the lousy weather the streets are packed in Sag Harbor today for Harbor Frost. The afternoon started with "Fire and Ice" sculting frozen figures on each end of main street followed by the start of the Culinary Tour and ....dadadadadadadad (drum roll) Polar Bear Plunge! Yes, a few lunatics decided to jump into the water this afternoon and enjoy the frigid waters of Sag Harbor Bay. It was all to benefit the Sag Harbor Hysterical Society which helps local families in need. A special thanks to Charlie Canavan for pulling this together.

If you look closely you'll see some of the towns more colorful locals and one network morning anchor. Yep, that's the Today Show's Matt Lauer. A special thanks to my second string reporter and real estate agent Richard Kudlak for helping me with this video! By the way, what a great idea this Harbor Frost thing is! Whoever had the idea is a genius!!

Thanks to the Sag Harbor Chamber of Commerce. They have been working on the first annual HarborFrost for more than a year. Great community event with many local businesses and community members who helped out.

The Frosty Plunge was the idea of Jesse James an EMT in the Sag Harbor Ambulance. All donations in regard to the Frosty Plunge benefitted the Sag Harbor Ambulance. The Hysterical Society had the Culinary Crawl which benefitted there organization. Great video!
