Special Olympics Connecticut's annual fundraising event, the Middletown Penguin Plunge, is set to take place at Polish Falcon's Nest #519 in Middletown at Crystal Lake. On February 206th, hundreds of people will join together and dash into icy Northeastern waters in an effort to raise money and awareness for Special Olympics Connecticut.
