Residents take the plunge
Some places have Groundhog Day, Alma has the annual Toilet Plunger Toss.
Feb. 1 marked the annual event this year, and the stands and rink of the Alma Cow Palace were at capacity.
Jim de Bock of the Alma Optimist Club said registration for the 52 teams this year sold out in 10 minutes.
He said changes to this year’s event were relatively minor.
“We’re just tweaking it a little bit. We’re hoping it will become an Olympic sport soon.”
When asked if he planned any demonstration teams for Sochi, his response was “we’re working on it.”
