Calling all jackalopes

This year the Special Olympics Wyoming Athletes will host their annual Jackalope Jump at the Keyhole Marina on the east side of the reservoir at noon on March 27.

This annual event is always a hit with young and old alike. Many have returned every year to contribute to the Special Olympics and collect the t-shirt.

Of course, an invigorating plunge into the still-icy depths is also thought to improve circulation, build up the immune system, decrease seasonal depression and anxiety and reduce sore muscles. These beliefs and the practice of leaping into cold water has been around for countless generations in many cultures.

Regardless of your reason, fun is the name of this game. Jackalopes are encouraged to bring a friend, a team or themselves and join the excitement.

This year, anyone who raises $100 receives the afore mentioned t-shirt and a beach towel. The goal for the entire event is $3000.

Anyone who would like to take the plunge is encouraged to contact Kassie Clements at [email protected] for more information.
