It was the annual Olcott Polar Bear Swim for Sight event. The whole town gathers on Olcott beach, they cut a huge hole in the ice and they all (and others from other towns) gather around to watch as few of the citizens, in their swimming trunks and what ever, dive into the frozen Lake Ontario water. As that can be dangerous all the Fire Rescue and underwater recovery teams in the area also gather. This really cute couple and their really cute little dog were part of the Fire Rescue group.
