With chilly temperatures and snowy conditions in full effect, people form throughout Maryland are gearing up for an event synonymous with winter at Deep Creek Lake—the annual Deep Creek Dunk.
The dunk serves as a fundraiser for Special Olympics Maryland and is slated for Saturday, Feb. 26. A thousand dunkers are expected to partake in the event. Last year’s Deep Creek Dunk raised approximately $150,000.
The festivities will kick off early with the pre-dunk event Goosebumps & Grapes: An Evening of Fire & Wine. This wine-tasting event, jointly hosted by Honi-Honi, Uno’s, Long & Foster Vacation Resort Rentals, and Arrowhead Market, will feature a variety of wines courtesy of Republic National Distributing Company.
There is a $20 donation required to attend the event, which will allow individuals to taste wines around a bonfire or inside a heated tent. Dunkers will also be able to register, between 6 and 9 p.m., for the dunk and avoid the Saturday morning lines.
