Penguin Pride in Youngstown, OH

On Oct. 28, we had the opportunity to once again sponsor water bottles at an event that attracted nearly 1,000 people. This time, they were all "penguins!"

Local college Youngstown State University's mascot is the Penguin and for this year's Homecoming they sought out to break the Guinness World Record for Most People Dressed Like Penguins. Students, alumni, and families flocked to the event, wanting to be apart of this record breaking event. If YSU were to break the record, all participants would have their name in the next Guinness Book of World Records for 2018.

Participants loved their SERVPRO water bottles. Many took photos and posed with their water bottles for us. This was also a good way for the community to understand who we are as well as what we do.

We loved being able to assist with this event and want to congratulate YSU for "unofficially" breaking the world record with 972 Penguins strong!
