Do you want to be part of making history? It’s time to dust off your dinosaur costume or start gathering gear for the entire family as an official Guinness World Record attempt is made for the most people dressed up as dinosaurs during Vernal’s Dinah SOAR Days Hot Air Balloon Festival. The hard working folks of the Uintah Special Service District 1 are organizing the effort as it’s a natural fit with their annual Dino Dash race in which anyone can register to dress like a dinosaur and run two blocks down Main Street. The number of costumes to beat the record is 468 but the goal set is 800. All costumes will be verified by official witnesses. No partial costumes will count towards the record. A costume counts if it is head to toe. It must include a dinosaur headpiece or mask and inflatable suits are welcome. It is free to participate and all participants must stay in full costume together for at least 1 minute in the fenced event area. Businesses or individuals that would like to donate costumes, sponsor the event, or donate funds for participants to get into costume, please call Cheryl at 435-790-9189.
