“We are excited to celebrate the New Year the Lula Lake way,” says Matthew Hubbard, Director of Development for LLLT. “Plunging into freezing water on New Year’s Day has become a ritual for many. It’s an opportunity to wash away the bad luck of the previous year and provide a clean start for the new one.” Special guests jumping into Lula Lake to welcome the new year include Kyle House and Kyle Miller of Kyle House Fitness, Bart Nunley and Bryan Elliott of Flying Jack Adventures, and NOOGAtoday's Chloe Morrison.
Hubbard adds, “While many brave the jump into Lula Lake for personal reasons, we all will be jumping in the name of conservation. Ticket proceeds benefit LLLT and its projects for the upcoming year.” These upcoming projects can include but are not limited to ongoing trail maintenance, education initiatives, and providing Open Gate Days to the public.
This event is ticket-only. The Jumper Ticket is $50 and includes your chance to swim in the lake. You’ll also receive all-you-can-eat chili, select beverages (both family friendly and ages 21+), and a commemorative shirt to prove you braved the freezing waters of Lula Lake! Changing tents will be provided. Don’t want to jump but still want to watch the festivities? Spectator Tickets are also available for $10 with concessions for purchase. More information, including ticket purchasing, is available at www.LulaLake.org/events.
