Guinness Book of World Records Attempt!







Today we went to our Downtown area for the annual Celebrate Hillsboro festival. There were free health screenings, music, a 3 on 3 basketball competition, soccer, food booths, farmer's market, and more. Every year, they attempt to break a Guinness Book world record, this year, it was the number of people playing kazoos in one area. We had to get 5, 301 people particpating in order to break the record. The above pictures are Zoe and Eve, my sister and her boyfriend, Michael, my mom and dad, Eve and I , and the crowd playing Do-Re-Mi from the Sound of Music for 5 minutes. The little black dot at the top corner of the building is a photographer taking a picture of the crowd in order to show the number of people present (we had all signed up previously on paper too). About 10 minutes before the attempt, we were 300 people short, so hopefully enough people turned up at the last minute. We shall see.
