Polar Bear

The 12th annual Polar Bear event takes place tomorrow at Pinch Penny Pub and the Copper Dragon.  Meanwhile, a number of "Puck Finch" events take place over the weekend at other nearby bars.

Carbondale police have announced increased patrols focusing on alcohol this weekend (likely parking across the street from Pinch Penny Pub as they did last year and Mayor Fritzler  and Chancellor Cheng have both sent out letters about the events (here and here).  Last year, Polar Bear attracted more notice than normal after a drunken 19 year old (it was never clear if he had attended one of the events) attempted to jump on a passing train and slipped off, losing a leg.
