LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The Special Olympics Nevada held its annual Las Vegas Plunge at Cowabunga Bay on Saturday morning.
Attendees were invited to "hop, skip, run, jump or dive" into Cowabunga Bay's wave pool to support SONV's health and sports programs.
For attendees who like to dress up, this year's event had a theme of "Independence" and costumes with red, white and blue were highly encouraged.
Had a blast with team @LVMPD doing the Polar Plunge for @sonevada.
