Apparently some recent North Central grads want to set a record for the world’s largest water balloon fight over Bloomsday Sunday.
The last time this happened was in Sydney, Australia in 2006. The event was sponsored by Xbox and involved 2,849 participants throwing ~55,000 balloons. Before that the record was held by a group in Spain.
Unfortunately our local boys weren’t able to win a business sponsorship, so they need your help with paying for supplies, filling balloons with water, and/or cleaning up after the battle. To get involved, send a quick message to: spokanerecordattempt2008 [at] live [dot] com.
On Sunday, May 4th from 2-4pm, there is going to be a free water balloon fight at the North Central High School Ryne Sandberg Baseball Field.
To break the record for Largest Water Balloon Fight and we need to have 3,000 people in attendance with approximately 55,000 water balloons.
We still need sponsors and volunteers! We are $300 dollars short on purchasing the remainder of the balloons, and we need volunteers to help fill and clean them up!
This is organized by four local guys who just want to see the community come together for a fun group event, so stop by and participate with your friends and family
How endearing; they even have their own SRA ’08 Facebook group!
