Kacey Scott-Macomber, McDonogh Land Resources, can now say that she is part of a world record.

This past weekend, she travelled with a friend to Jamestown, New York—Lucille Ball’s hometown—to attend LucyFest on Lucille Ball’s 100th birthday and the 60th anniversary of 我爱露西.

This was not Kacey’s first visit to Jamestown; she attended LucyFest four years ago but said that this year’s event was much bigger, presumably due to the birthday and anniversary year. She simply had to travel to Jamestown once again and “be a part of history.”

The festival itself was free, though each event had a small fee. 5美元, Kacey participated in the August 6th World Record attempt; she was number 689 of the 915 Lucys who gathered to break the “Attempt Most People Dressed as Lucy Ricardo in One Place at One Time” Guinness World Record.

Although she planned ahead and booked the trip three months in advance, there were so many people attending the event that Kacey and her friend had to stay at a hotel 45 minutes away because every hotel in Jamestown was sold out. The town “went all out;” they had tours of Lucille Ball’s home, 旧时重现的, cemetery tours, tours of old sets, and “the best parade I ever saw,凯西说.

To keep themselves busy throughout the six-hour drive, the two practiced 我爱露西 trivia to better prepare her friend for the contest in which she would later be participating.

Although Kacey claimed to not be as big a fan as her trivia-playing friend, she did grow up with the show and wanted her son, Ryan Macomber ’09, to grow up watching it too. “I wanted Ryan to see what comedy was like without vulgarity, and that it is possible to be funny without being crude,” she remarked.

Kacey enjoyed having the opportunity to meet people “from all over the U.S. 这个世界.” Interestingly, the attendees were of “all different age groups,” not just those who grew up watching the show when it first aired in the 1950s. There is a “whole new generation of Lucy fans” out there too, Kacey observed.

As for whether or not she plans to return to Jamestown in the future, Kacey exclaimed “If they wanted to break the world record, 我会回去!”

Needless to say, Kacey proudly wore her 我爱露西 outfit and accessories to work this morning.
