Q: What happens when you get nearly 1,000 people to dress up as Penguins and waddle around WATTS on a rainy Saturday morning?
A: You set a new Guinness World Record!
Officially, 972 people showed up to break the record for most people dressed as penguins in one place. The previous record was 624. We’re still waiting for the official thumbs up - er, maybe “flipper up”? - from the folks at Guinness, but, way to go! The achievement received around-the-world news coverage.
