WORLD RECORD
TO BE SET TODAY
FOR PEOPLE
WEARING THE MOST SANTA HATS
ON TWO
CONTINENTS:
BROCTON,
MASSACHUSETTS: U. S. A. & MULLINGAR,
IRELAND
QUESTION:
What have Brockton, Massachusetts and
Mullingar, Ireland had in common?
ANSWER:
A competition to see which community can
gather the most people together wearing Santa hats.
THE
COMPETITION STARTED IN 2009
In 2008 Brocktonians gathered together
to set a world record for the most people wearing Santa hats. Over 500 persons
participated.
The following year the Irish Echo
reported that Mullingar had joined in on the fun and broken Brockton’s record
with a gathering of 780 persons.
The
competition was on. In 2010 Brocton reclaimed its record with 982 participants,
and maintained the record in 2011 with 1780 participants. This year the two
communities are collaborating rather than competing. They aim to set a world
record for the most simultaneous Santa hat wearers on two continents. Readers
