Polar Bear Weekend – Jan 15 – 19

by Paul Brown on 27 December 2008

Yes, that’s right; the folks at PrideWorks have brought back Polar Bear Weekend in Guerneville.  With four days of fun events and an incredibly low price, this is going to be a great Martin Luther King weekend getaway.

Highlights of the events include three-nights and four days lodging at one of seven resorts in the area and stuff to do both day and night, including

  • Thursday Trivia NightPrizes for the each round’s winning trivia team!
  • Ca-Bear-Et
  • Bear-aoke
  • White Party – Saturday The main event of the weekend, this theme party encourages all to dress up in white — white face, white fur (fake fur that is), ice princess or sexy go-go cub — we plan on transforming the RRR in to a winter wonderland of white. With a name DJ in the main bar and special guest Tommi Rose headlining in the showroom.
  • Pajama Party – SundayS’mores, pillow fights, movies, and spin the bottle plus a prize for the cutest PJs.  We’re going to have a mini-spa set up with cucumber slices for the eyes, and hot towels to have you all fresh faced and ready to face the real world again.
  • Wine Tasting events
  • Team Bear Training Rides
  • a trip to a local Casino
  • and much, much more.

We’re also bringing back the signature event of past Polar Bear Weekends, the Polar Bear Plunge, except with a twist – for a small donation, you’ll get to jump into an icy cold pool to help raise money for the World Wildlife Fund’s Save the Polar Bear. And of course, a hot toddy and fluffy warm towel will await your exit from the pool.

The other beneficiary of the weekends fund raising events is Team Bear, the AIDS/LifeCycle fund raising team. Monies raised for Team Bear will help individual team members make their minimum fund raising requirements for the ALC.

Rates with lodging start as low as $129/person, double occupancy.  Depending on the resort, there are different room options available.

Also, for Sonoma County residents, a special low-price bear tag of only $29. Day passes will also be available.

So, come on up to the Russian River this Polar Bear Weekend and Get Your Fur On!
