That's right, WORLD RECORDS! 

   You may not be able to ride a unicycle backwards for miles or juggle five clubs until infinity, but that doesn't mean you cant have your very own Juggling World Record. 

         Thanks to the Universal Records Database (urdb.com), world records can be within reach of all of us.  Basically, if your idea is measurable and beatable you can create your own category and hold a world record, even if its just for a few minutes.  For example, people currently hold world records for "the most high-fives during the pledge of allegiance," "the largest collection of women eating donuts and drinking coffee while wearing black" and "the longest time taken to dissolve a mint on your tongue." 

          Though these records are fun, juggling is underrepresented in the world record log books.

          In this spirit, The Kansas City Juggling Festival will provide you with an arena in which you can set your record.  Hopefully, your world record idea will be biased towards juggling, but we will help you achieve even your silliest goals.  Start brainstorming now to come up with something creative.

          Kansas City Juggling Festival World Record Officials (KCJFWRO) will be on hand with timers, measuring tapes, clickers, and everything else needed to dutifully measure your world record attempts.  Video and photo recording equipment will be used to confirm your results.  Official forms will be provided for you to fill out, and after the festival, the KCJFWROs will submit your record to the database on your behalf. 

          If you will need any special equipment for your attempt, please let us know before the festival date arrives so that we may have it ready for you.  Otherwise, there will be a signup sheet at the registration table.

Thanks, and good luck!
