Winter Celebration at Ontario Beach Park. Still, with both indoor and outdoor events scheduled, the weather should be almost incidental. While some may not enjoy the cold, many will take the annual Polar Plunge into the icy waters of Lake Ontario to benefit the New York State Special Olympics. Other events for the day include the Lake Ontario Ice Wine Festival and Farmers Market in the Port Terminal, the 18th annual Chilly Chili Challenge, a snow sculpture contest, live music, and more. The event takes place on Sunday, February 12, and will run 11 a.m.-4 p.m. For more information, including a full schedule of events, visit cityofrochester.gov/wintercelebration. (EL)

But what you might not know about Gere are his efforts in support of Tibet. In 1997, Gere published “Pilgrim,” a book of his own black-andwhite photographs from traveling in Tibet. The book’s introduction was written by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, who has been Gere’s teacher of Tibetan Buddhism since the early 1980’s. The George Eastman Award will recognize Gere both
