The World's Longest Barrel of Monkeys Chain. 5,990 Monkeys.

We did it! We broke the Guinness World Record for the longest Barrel of Monkeys chain!

On May 13th, 2012, from 12pm to 2pm, at the Hopkins Center at Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH, we built the world's longest Barrel of Monkeys chain. It took 26 volunteers and 2 hours to complete the chain. The event was a fundraiser for Child's Play, a charity that brings toys to children in hospitals. We raised $500.
