    Very fun video. How did the event work? Did all groups participate on the same calendar day?

      Thanks Dan! To participate in "Ready, Set, Wear It!" Life Jacket World Record Day, you had to do four things:

      1) Hold an event on Saturday, May 18, 2013 2) Take a photo(s) of all event participants 3) Have each participant sign in 4) Send everything over to me so I could compile the results

      Other than that, we let each event coordinator make the event work best for them. The most important thing: we succeeded in educating nearly 6,000 on the importance of life jacket wear and boating safety.

      You can see all of the event photos at http://www.readysetwearit.com/photos/. We'll be holding the event again next year, most likely on May 17, 2014 - we'd love for you to join us!
