We did it!

1,902 people dressed as cows. A new world record

On Sunday, October 25th, 1,902 people in cow print filled The Great Frederick Fairgrounds and set a new world record for the largest gathering of people dressed as cows.

 

The previous mark was 1,352, set in Cowaramup, Australia on July 12th, 2014. It stood for twelve years. Frederick beat it by 550.

 

Thank you to every person who bought a onesie, put it on, and spent a Sunday afternoon in it. The record belongs to you.
