14th Annual Polar Bear Plunge
Almost 100 brave souls took the Plunge during the 14th Annual Roaming Shores Polar Bear Plunge. See the album below for pictures and video from the event.
Thank you to our Sponsors, Safety Services, all of our participants, and to the Polar Bear Club for making this year’s Plunge a great success!
2019 Polar Bear Plunge – Feb 23rd
The Roaming Shores Polar Bear Plunge is moving to February this year. Are you brave enough to take the Plunge into the icy waters of Lake Roaming Rock to raise money for charity? This year’s Polar Bear Plunge event will begin at 1 pm on Saturday, February 23rd at the Roaming Shores Clubhouse/Main Beach. The actual plunge will begin at 3pm.
The Polar Bear Plunge will include brave students from Jefferson, Grand Valley and Pymatuning Valley Schools, as well as wild and crazy local area residents. Last year’s Polar Bear Plunge raised $7635 with 75 Plungers. We need your help to make this year’s event even more successful!
This year, the money we raise will be used to benefit the Jeff Meddock Memorial Scholarship, Jefferson Area Local Schools Academic Boosters, Grand Valley Schools student programs in memory of Emily Plickert, and the Roaming Shores Breakfast with Santa event.
Grand Valley Schools strives to improve student programs in the memory of Emily Plickert, a beloved cheerleader, classmate and friend to all.
Jeff Meddock was a resident of Roaming Shores and the beloved principal of Pymatuning Valley High School. He died unexpectedly and the money we raise helps to continue his pursuit to educate.
Both Jeff and Emily were very proud active members of The Polar Bear Club.
The Jefferson Academic Boosters strives to reward students for academic success. Also, a portion of the money we raise is also used to host the Roaming Shores Breakfast with Santa event.
If you are interested in taking the Plunge, a minimum of $55 must be raised. There is no age limit (minors will need parental consent). Each courageous person that takes that icy Plunge will get a t-shirt as a thank you for participating.
There will be a DJ and a 50/50 raffle! We’ll be serving hot dogs, chili, popcorn, chips and soda. Additional merchandise will be available for sale. You can purchase items before and/or after the plunge. First come, first serve.

Fishing Club News – Oct 2018
On Oct 13th , the club hosted our yearly Clam Bake. There was a poor turnout, but the clams were great and everyone had a good time!
The big fish for September was a 17in bass caught by John Klein.
Our next meeting will be on Monday, November 12th at 7:30pm at the Clubhouse. This is the meeting that determines the direction of the club.
Questions to be asked and settled are:
Does the club want a bass tournament? A couples tournament? Do we want to help stock grass carp? Do we want to stock fat-head minnows? Do we want a fish fry? Do we want a clam bake?
Please come to the meeting to vote on these issues. If you’re not a member, please come and you can join for 2019.
