Be a Part of the
Max Plunge!
The Max Plunge can out on the ice, February 2010.
Note the Max Cafe in the distance at right.
The enormous pop can that has become a wintertime fixture on Elbow Lake along Highway 83 in Max is ready to take a dive again! Bremer Bank, Bremer Insurance, and Reservation Telephone are the 2010 sponsors of the Max Plunge--the yearly guessing game that predicts when the specially-made jumbo can will fall through the ice. The Plunge is put on yearly by the Max Park Board to promote the Max Community and to raise funds for Max parks.

2010 Plunge Winners
The Max Plunge ended at 3:29 pm on April 8th when the jumbo can poised on the ice of Elbow Lake in Max fell through. The winning guess fell within one minute of the time of submersion. Second and third places guessed within two minutes, and fourth place within three minutes of the plunge. That's some great guessing!
The top four winners were:
1st: Chad Wimer of Garrison - $500
2nd: Jason Strand of Surrey - $250
3rd: Amanda Iverson of Bismarck - $100
4th: Paul Schlichting of Garrison - $50
Max Park Board member Raymond Iverson reported that the Plunge was a great success this year, raising $200 more than last year for Max Parks. He says that most of the proceeds from the Plunge will go to purchasing new picnic tables for the city's parks.
Congratulations to all Max Plunge 2010 winners!
