Santa Hat Record On The Line Sunday

The BrocktonPost
BROCKTON--As the photo shows, we here at BrocktonPost.com have put on our red-and-white Santa hats in anticipation of regaining the Guiness Book of World Records title for the most people wearing Santa hats in one place and at the same time--a record Brockton set in 2008 and was captured by the Irish town of Mullingar, located about one hour northwest of Dublin.
Last year Mullingar beat Brockton's record 719 to 507, but from the emails we've received, it looks like the good folks in Mullingar are going to be crying in their pints after the Santa Hat Challenge in Brockton's downtown and Main Street on Sunday, because it looks like we here in Brockton aren't going to let this title loss go unchallenged.
Signature Healthcare Brockton Hospital has teamed up with organizers of the Santa Hat Challenge and have given 10,000 Santa hats to kids at Brockton High School and all of the elementary schools.
We're gonna cream 'em!
Hey kids---you just better show up! And bring your parents! And don't forget your hats!
So Remember, the Santa Hat Challenge begins at 11:30 a.m. in the area of Main and Crescent streets with DJ Joe Lupica playing holiday music.
Everyone with a hat needs to register--look for the organizer's table near the parking garage.
Worried about parking? There's a parking garage right there and it's inexpensive.
Everyone who registers for the challenge is automatically eligible for a raffle of 30 fun and exciting prizes.
The official count begins at Noon and no matter what, anyone wearing a Santa hat has to be there by 1 p.m. for THE count.
If you don't have a Santa hat, you can pick one up at the event for $1.
Let's knock out Mullingar! See you there!
