New world record for longest beard chain claimed in Wyoming
WY facial hair enthusiasts created a 150-foot chain, doubling the previous Guinness World Record
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Facial hair enthusiasts claimed to have set a new world record for longest beard chain during an event in Wyoming on Friday, the Casper Star-Tribune reports.
Participants gathered at Gaslight Social, a bar in Casper, where they stood side by side and clipped their beards together to create a hairy chain that was measured at 150 feet long, according to the newspaper. That's more than double the Guinness World Record of 62 feet, 6 inches, set in Germany in 2007.
