The old record was broken in Ship Bottom with 327 persons all blowing conch horns simultaneously.
"Recapturing our title is very exciting. Our success was through a group effort, owner Cheryl Kirby. "Thank you to all our participants, of whom many traveled hours to be here; our hardworking volunteers; and the wonderful musicians that provided quick conch blowing lessons."
During the Sea Glass and Art Festival in 2012, Things A-Drift/Echoes of LBI in Ship Bottom was the site of a new Guinness World Record: most conch horns blown at once, 258.
But owner Cheryl Kirby's record did not last very long, as a group in the Bahamas topped the record with 295. This took place on July 9, 2014, as part of the Bahamian independence anniversary celebration.
