Ri Ra Irish Pub held their second annual Paddy Plunge, this year Bob Conner of Ri Ra decided the event should be a fund raiser and chose the Burn Foundation as their charity.  Over 50 people showed up at 5:30 am in the snow and biting wind with the thermometer reading 16 degrees to dive in the ocean off East End Beach.  More than six thousand dollars was raised by the plungers, who received pledges from their friends family and coworkers. An auction was also held after the plunge while brunch was served back at the pub.
