1,255 people in a Dutch city set a new world record for the largest gathering of natural redheads, Guinness World Records said.

The event in the city of Breda in the Netherlands beat the previous world record of 890 natural redheads gathered in Washington in 2010, DutchNews.nl reported. Many more redheads turned out for the festival - about 4,000-5,000 total - but only 1,255 qualified as natural redheads under Guinness rules. The gathering was part of an annual Dutch summer festival that takes place each first weekend of September in Breda. Activities during the two-day festival include lectures, workshops and demonstrations which are aimed specifically at red-haired people.

so how does this Guinness guy actually test to see if they are "natural" redheads...?

- you could always just cut them open.

Good question.

Why not have them get naked and check for freckles? :lol:

As both my sister and mother are natural redheads, I know they would appreciate this story!
