Doctor Who Fans Looking to Break World Record at ConCarolinas

Doctor Who fans will be seeking to break an unusual world record tomorrow at the ConCarolinas convention - the most Fourth Doctor Scarves in the world!

ConCarolinas is hosting this Guinness World Record attempt in order to raise awareness of their charity and non-profit partners:

• Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina
• American Red Cross
• North Carolina Search and Rescue Dog Association
• Cabarrus County Libraries

Each scarf will be set on the convention floor to create a continuous scarf. In order to participate, one must have a Doctor Who 4^th Doctor Scarf (either handmade or store bought) and a membership badge for the convention.

Each year ConCarolinas hosts a charity auction for North Carolina Search and Rescue Dog Association, a food drive for Second Harvest Food Bank, and a blood drive for the American Red Cross. The Cabarrus County Library will be at ConCarolinas raising awareness of the summer reading program. Representatives from each group will be in attendance to celebrate this Guinness World Record Attempt. Charlotte artist John Hairston Jr. will be donating a painting to the charity auction to commemorate the event. The “trail” of scarves will end at a replica model of The Doctor’s infamous time machine, the TARDIS.

The record attempt will take place at Embassy Suites Charlotte - Concord/Golf Resort & Spa, 5400 John Q. Hammons Dr NW, Concord
