Dip for Dozer Makes a Splash!
Splashing into Lake Ripley is normally a summertime activity except for the second weekend in February which means it’s the annual Dip for Dozer plunge! Hundreds gather at Lake Ripley Park to honor a young athlete who was lost so very young. Number 52 Dustin “Dozer” Zuelsdorf was a talented high school football star and leader. Each year, his family, friends and community honor his memory with this annual fundraiser which benefits the Dozer 52 Football Scholarship fund.
15 YEARS OF FUN!
Dustin’s mother, Kim Zuelsdorf explains, “This year is the 15th Dip for Dozer. Crazy, we didn’t even know if there would be a second one when we started it. It’s great to see many of Dustin’s friends take on responsibility for coordinating the Dip and associated activities. “
