FAST FIVE Plunge into the new year with Chad Bennett AKA 'Father Time'

Meet Chad Bennett, the unofficial timekeeper for Coeur d'Alene's annual Polar Bear Plunge. Many might recognize Chad by his blue wig, stuffed polar bear and countdown clock-topped staff that accompany him to the Plunge each year, earning him the nickname, "Father Time."
