Plunge News Network: Beer & Beans Triathlon

More "solar bear" than polar bear, Laura Willoughby and Steven Kopelman of Harness Creek in Annapolis, Maryland, created the 1st annual Beer and Beans Triathlon to raise money for Special Olympics Maryland athletes in the heat of the August sun. What turned out to be a seemingly innocent day of fun for charity, turned into a protest between a group of environmentalists and those seeking to express their personal freedom through flatulence. Check out the behind the scenes protest and cat fight for a shocking look at how hot things can get when it comes to the coolest event around!

Although some of the characters in this episode are strictly for your entertainment, the triathlon was a real event that raised $4,167 for Special Olympics MD. Laura Willoughby and Steven Kopelman are already planning next years event. This video series is produced by Take One Digital Media in Annapolis. Weekly episodes will be released December 30, 2009 through Plunge Day on January 30, 2010.
