If you’re brave enough to endure the cold waters of the Rappahannock River in the height of winter, you’re invited to a good time for a good cause. The Wounded EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) Warrior Foundation’s Eighth Annual Polar Bear Plunge will take place in Fredericksburg on Saturday, Feb. 7, 2015.
