Largest gathering of natural redheads: Portland breaks Guinness world record (VIDEO)
PORTLAND, OR, USA -- Roughly 1,600 redheads gathered in Pioneer Courthouse Square, Portland, Oregon, for 10 minutes, setting the new world record for the Largest gathering of natural redheads (largest gathering of people with natural red hair),

The Guinness World Records' record for the largest gathering of people with natural red hair was achieved by 890 redheads at an event organised by Anne Lindsay Photography (USA) at Skyline High School in Sammamish, Washington, USA.
Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the largest gathering of people with the same birthday; it was achieved by 228 people, all born on 4 July, at an event organised by Stichting Apenheul (Netherlands) in Apeldoorn, Netherlands.
"I'm really proud of being able to bring a bunch of like-minded and like-appearance people together," said organizer Rusty Weise for KATU.com
"They have felt so outcast, but now they are with their brethren, their own kind."
Everybody who showed up had to bring childhood pictures to prove they were a natural redhead.
Less than two percent of the world's population has red hair. In some cases, it seems to come out of nowhere.
