"I'm excited to do something a little bit crazy on New Year's Day, and join Pam and her team at the dip," said Campbell, winner of the 2012 Les Bartley Award recognizing his character and commitment. Also joining her team this year will be Tom Linhares dressed as his alter-ego Gene Simmons. Linhares was the runner-up in the 2009 Oakville Santa Claus Parade "People's Choice Award" when he entertained the crowd as the KISS front man. He is looking forward to bringing that same enthusiasm to his first Polar Bear Dip. Damoff has had a professional videographer follow her exploits over the last two years. Oakville resident Kevin September has generously donated his time to film the team and the videos can be viewed at http://goo.gl/gHHmS2. He will be there once again this year to capture the excitement. Organizers are thrilled to see these teams grow.
