Lovell's Riverside Tavern located on the North Branch of the Au Sable river hosted their first annual "Shiver on the River" on Sunday November 14th. Over 30 folks plunged, ran, tumbled into the Au Sable's North Branch in the spirit of good fun, camaraderie, and silliness. The event was a huge success. Cars filled the parking lot and lined both sides of the road.

The rules required that all participants dipped at least neck deep. Not an easy feat in the upper North Branch. Understand that this guy is definitely sitting on the bottom. Those boys that cut a swath in the ice of some frozen lake and quickly jump in and hop out have nothing on the "Shiver" folks. These hardy souls have to wade out to the middle of the rocky river and ease into knee deep water. Takes
discipline drinks.
