(Versailles, Ind.) - The Indiana Special Olympics Polar Plunge at the Versailles State Park raised a lot of money.
Plungers splashed into the ice-cold water at the park on Saturday, all to raise money for special olympians in Indiana.

Participation was also up this year as nearly 190 people took the plunge. Another 60 ran in the Polar Climb 5K.
