Follow on Google News | DBMC to Attempt World's Largest Gathering of People Wearing Holiday Sweaters - 12/4 at 7:30 pmBy: PR-BS, Inc World's Largest Gathering of People Wearing Holiday Sweaters at Lighting of Famous 100-Foot Christmas Tree / December 4 at 7:30 pm (Delray Beach, FL – November 25, 2014) Along with the family-friendly celebrations and holiday events, this year the Delray Beach Marketing Cooperative (DBMC) wants to set a world record for the Largest Gathering of People Wearing Holiday Sweaters. The DBMC’s goal is to attract more than 700 people, which would beat London’s 2013 record of 639 people. This attempt to break a world record for holiday sweaters will take place during the lighting of the Famous 100-Foot Christmas Tree on Thursday, Dec. 4, at 7:30 pm, on the grounds of the Delray Beach Center of the Arts at the Old School Square Park. "For the purposes of breaking this record, a qualifying sweater – or jumper, as it is known in England – must prominently depict a traditional Christmas/Holiday character, item, or theme, such as Santa Claus, a Christmas tree, gifts or holly,” said Stephen Chrisanthus, DBMC’s associate director. “Plain red or green sweaters will not qualify.” The sweaters must be long-sleeved and can be pullover or cardigan style. Additionally, all participating sweater-wearers must be in position simultaneously and remain so for a minimum of five minutes. Go to www.100FtChristmasTree.com for complete rules to participate. "Delray Beach is known as the ‘Most Fun Small Town in the USA,’ this world record would be another title the community can share in together, as well as being a fun, new addition to the Tree Lighting Ceremony,” added Chrisanthus. “Other new events this year include two Cookie Cruises with Santa aboard the Lady Atlantic, a Kiddie Train Ride near the Famous 100-Foot Christmas Tree, and a Screen on the Green showing of The Grinch and How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
