The Max Plunge is Max's yearly guessing game that has become a wintertime fixture and is sponsored by the Max Parks Department. Each year, residents predict when a specially-made jumbo can of pop will fall through the ice of Elbow Lake along Highway 83 in Max. The top 4 guesses are the recipient of a cash prize. The Plunge can is outfitted with an electronic timer that stops immediately when it gets wet, notifying officials of the exact moment the can takes the plunge.
The Max Plunge was first held in 1995 and featured an actual pop machine. On April 12th, 1995 at 2:58 p.m., history was made when the pop machine broke through the ice of Elbow Lake for the first time.
