Agh Penguin Swim 2014 Approaching

Berlin, Md. – The air is turning cooler and leaves are falling from the trees: You know what that means. It’s time to start thinking about New Year’s resolutions and signing up for the AGH Penguin Swim. This New Year’s Day marks the 20th anniversary for the event, which has become a local tradition on the Shore.

In honor of this special anniversary, the swim will be even more festive this year. Frankie, the miniature trick pony, will be entertaining the masses, and ice sculptor Erik Cantine will create a throne of ice for photo ops.

Penguins are encouraged to come wearing costumes to be eligible for prizes. In response to popular demand, the team category has been divided; prizes will be awarded for first, second and third place for businesses’ teams as well as the top teams for community groups and organizations.

Individual and team participants can register now to start collecting donations.
