Hundreds show up for chilly tradition

More than 180 people took Boy Scout Troop 111 up on its invitation to come jump into Lake Pend Oreille for its annual Polar Bear Plunge. People even turned out before the 11 a.m. start, with the Sandpoint troop kicking off the plunge earlier to accommodate them, Troop 111 scoutmaster Phil Voelz said.
