It was like the Indian Festival
Holi is celebrated with much fanfare by
everyone getting together to apply colours and spray water all around. The
Jewish youth group at Essex got into the
same act but on a slightly different note. In a span of few minutes 200 liters of
custard was thrown on the floors to add more mess during the fun filled summer camp.
About 700 students joined
the custard pie fight in Drake University.It appeared like a Holi like environment.
Instead of colours and balloons the event saw the splashing of custard pies on
everyone’s faces. The previous record was set by 671 participants from
Lawrenceville School in New Jersey. The event
was organized by ‘Dogtown After hours’ highlighting on celebration devoid of alcohol.
Everyone got into the act
of throwing the custard pie so well that they enjoyed every bit of the record. The pie fight was
voted out the best out of the eight proposals. The student body president Larson said that there was a lengthy debate on the
type of pies used. The apple filling seemed the cheapest and easiest out of all
options and hence they had decided to go ahead with that idea.
The mandatory norm was
that the fruit pie flinging frenzy should last for a minimum 60 seconds. For
the pie fight to get qualified it was insisted that each person should have one pie. It was stipulated that
each should have two pies and with the target getting over 800 pies only drew a hole in their pockets.
The largest Custard pie
fight counted to 700 participants of Drake University at Des Moines, Iowa,
United States of America on April 13, 2011.
