- Kyle, Texas, is "calling all Kyles" to help them break the Guinness World Record for the largest same-name gathering.
- It's the city's fourth attempt at breaking the record — which is currently held by Kupreski Kosci in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Kyle, Texas, is "calling all Kyles" to come to a "Gathering of the Kyles" at their annual fair to try to break a Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of people with the same name.
"In order to break this record, we're calling for any and all Kyle's. We need tall Kyle's, short Kyle's, young Kyle's, and old Kyle's to get close to the record set five years ago," City of Kyle Special Events Manager Claudia Rocha said.
It's the fourth time Kyle, Texas, has attempted to break the record, set by Kupreski Kosci in Bosnia and Herzegovina on July 30, 2017, when the European city hosted 2,325 participants named Ivan.
In the past, the city of Kyle said Kyles traveled from as far as Massachusetts to participate.
The event is completely free to any and all who want to join in on the record-breaking fun, but anyone with the first name Kyle who wishes to participate must spell it the same way the city does for their entry to count toward the record.
"We're very excited about the upcoming, inaugural Kyle Fair and have high hopes that this event will bring out the Kyles needed to grab a spot in the record books," Rocha said.
The Kyle Fair is a three-day extravaganza that boasts "ribs, 'ritas, and carnival rides" as well as live music and fireworks.
The gathering will take place on Sunday, May 21 at 4:00 p.m. at the tail end of the Kyle Fair.
