Take The Polar Plunge To Support Special Olympics At Cowabunga Bay

Not all polar plunges are created equal. In some parts of the country, the water is nearly ice. Plus there is barely any reprieve once you come up for air due to winter temps. Luckily here in the valley you get to take a dip inside a water park in April to support Special Olympics Nevada. Our Polar Plunge is a cakewalk! So there's no excuse.

Saturday, April 8th, Cowabunga Bay Water Park will swing open its doors starting at 9:00 a.m., allowing supporters to hop into the cold (but not Atlantic Ocean cold) Spring waters of the wave pool to benefit Special Olympics Nevada and their health and sports programs.

In order to take part you need to raise at least $125 and you'll get the full VIP experience (the "I" in this case probably stands for icy). That will earn you an official plunge t-shirt and the more you raise the more rewards you can get. If you just want to support and don't have any intention of getting damp, registration is only $45.

The best part is once you're done you get to stay at the park! That means you really got to take a tax deductible trip to Cowabunga Bay! You'll also receive free parking and a concession pass so really it's a pretty great deal benefiting a great organization

The theme this year is "Independence," so maybe sport your red white and blue or come with some "Battle Born" attire and dress to impress! There will also be a "Duck Derby". You can become a "quacker backer," adopt one (or many) rubber duckies for your shot to win amazing prizes including luxury hotel stays, sports tickets, restaurant gift cards and more.

Sure, it can be a shock to the system, but taking a dip in cool water can be good for you! so slap on those swim trunks and take a dip in the Special Olympics Polar Plunge! CLICK HERE to sign up!

Listen to Sammi Reeves weekday afternoons from 3-7 on 102.7 VGS

It was a week filled with the sickies, the deception and conspiracy on Aimee+Shawn! Alright, that sounds a little dramatic...

To start the week, Aimee+Shawn were accused of being "from California" (the biggest insult to locals) for talking about potentially banning cigarettes indoors and whether or not skunks are in Las Vegas. Turns out... there are skunks in Southern Nevada. They are just rare. So, 1 point Aimee+Shawn, 0 points random text grump.

Aimee took Tuesday off for her son Roman's birthday... then the next two days she was out sick. So enter Sammi! Sammi is 102.7 VGS' afternoon host and she has many talents. One of them is fainting whenever she gives blood. It just so happens that on her first day filling in, she was fasting to do just that. Someone catch her!

The one bad thing about having "the videographer" in your family is that someone, somewhere, has damning video of you doing something embarrassing. For Shawn, thankfully, it is all on VHS far away from prying eyes. For Sammi? Unfortunately she's younger, so it's on YouTube. And it's adorable (and hilarious).

Ringling Bros. Circus is coming back to town and it got Shawn thinking about the time where he was dating a girl who was also talking to a clown.

The Rock retweeted Shawn who needlessly groveled on Twitter about buying his energy drink. That began Shawn's quarterly rant that he is convinced Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson would be an outstanding President Of The United States.

It's a celebration of 100 Years Of Disney! Win tickets for two straight weeks to go to Disneyland! We have four packs of two day, one park per day tickets! Plus, listen every morning at 8:40 as we give you a special word of the day. Next Friday, read back all nine of the code words in order and you'll get the grand prize... a two night stay at a Disneyland Resort hotel, a four pack of three day, one park a day tickets, and memories that will last a lifetime! Plus we'll have tickets to Madonna! See you then!

Shawn is CONVINCED he has smelled skunks in Las Vegas, albeit rarely. Someone on the text line decided to challenge Shawn, saying he's obviously not a local. Turns out there ARE skunks in Southern Nevada, and while they are rare they are here. So, take that.

For a brief second, smoking was banned at all bars in Nevada. Then, almost as quickly, it was gone. With some properties like Park MGM starting to go "smoke free"... could the city ACTUALLY do it? Could it ban smoking in buildings?

Both Aimee and Shawn have a list that, while unlikely, should they come across these celebrities, they can have at em. We all know, though, that it's imaginary and if it actually happened their spouses would totally deny their chance.

Your hairdresser is also your therapist... and when you find a good one you want to hang on forever. But occasionally that hairdresser has the gall to leave you...

Sammi was fasting and getting ready to take some blood tests later in the day. Only one problem... as soon as that needle goes it, she goes down.

This sounds crazy but it's true. You don't have to be over 50 to be a member of AARP. Now Shawn, many years before he is eligible, is ready to join for some discounts and he thinks everyone should get one... even the kids.

Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus is coming back! That jogged Shawn's memory of a time where he was competing for the love of a girl who was also talking to an actual clown with Ringling.

Sammi decided a while back that she wants to try out for the Raiderettes! Awesome! Then, she watched last year's auditions. Now she's doubling down.

There are some red flags, some tells, some ICKS that, once you see them, you can't get over them. What are the biggest turn-offs when it comes to dating?

Videos from your childhood can be damning. Shawn's are thankfully on VHS. Sammi is relatively young, however, and her shame lives on YouTube.

We all roll our eyes at conspiracy theories, but occasionally you hear one that gives you pause, and you believe. What conspiracies do you actually think are true?

Sure, Sammi looks sweet. But she lied straight to a police officer's face to get out of a ticket a couple years ago. And... it worked.

HAIL TO THE ROCK! Shawn got retweeted by the WWE and acting superstar. This ended up getting Shawn back on his political soapbox with his pure and true belief that Dwayne Johnson would be an incredible President of the United States.

Aimee forgot her laptop coming in to work. Well, she didn't. But she did the worst search for it in history.

People younger than Aimee & Shawn know what's up online. People their age? It's a coinflip. People OLDER than them? Forget about it.

There is definitely a sense of adventure in the air post-COVID. Passport applications are at a record pace. Where do you wanna go?
