Wildwood High School math teacher Dianna Reetz.  Each February, thousands of people flock to Sea Isle City during the resort’s annual Polar Bear Plunge – either as spectators or to participate in one of the many activities scheduled during the three-days of Plunge Weekend.  When Sea Isle’s first Polar Bear Plunge took place in 1995, it attracted only 25 plungers and a small crowd of on-lookers.  Now in its 17^th year, the plunge has become one of the town’s largest festivals – thanks to an entertaining costume contest, the annual crowning of a king and queen, a 5K Run benefiting Autism Awareness, local vendors selling food and souvenirs, and, of course, a chilly dip in the Atlantic Ocean.
