Next Up: Valentine's Day, and the Polar Bear Plunge

This post-holiday time is tough...all of the excitement has died down, and we're left with...winter. For most of us (skiers aside), it is a long wait until spring. Fortunately, we do have a couple of interesting things coming up next month.

First of all, Valentine's day (Feb. 14th) falls on a Saturday this year, so there's lots of opportunity to do something fun with your special person. Note that if you're going to need a florist, jeweler, or a good restaurant for the occasion, Toms River Online has business directories for each. You can start on our main Business page.

Once the glow of Valentine's Day fades, we have the Polar Bear Plunge happening on February 21st in Seaside Heights. This wild and crazy event benefits the Special Olympics. More than 5,000 typically attend, and the crowd seems to get bigger every year.

In case you are ready to jump in the water...here are some important dates for you to know: February 15th- All teams must be registered by midnight. February 20th- Online Registration Closes. All team members must be registered with their team by midnight. Team members will not be able to register with their team the day of the event. February 21st- On-Site Registration will be $125 the day of the Plunge. Registration begins at 9am with the Plunge scheduled for 1pm.

Have a great February...spring is right around the corner (sort of)...
