More on Bill Bailey’s Sheaf Record

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I was premature in my previous post about Bill's new world
record.  Rather than weighing 16 lbs, a certified scale shows the
bag's weight as 17.34 lbs.  This extra weight no doubt helped the
sheaf carry over the bar.   Yeah, that's the ticket. 

To summarize:

 - The record occurred at the Queechee Scottish Festival at the polo grounds at Queechee VT, on August 28, 2004.

 - Bill is 63 years old.

 - The sheaf cleared a height of 28'6".

 - The implement weighed 17.34 lbs.

 - The judges were John MacDonald and John Lundstrom.
