Julie de Waard, Seniors in Focus project
officer, was very pleased with the recognition: "We are over
the moon ... We have all worked very hard for three years
for this world record and it's a great achievement and everyone
involved should feel extremely proud," she said.
The announcement of the new world record for the Largest
parade of electric mobility scooters
came after three
attempts and many years of hard work, according to the Fraser
Coast Regional Council.
Ms de Waard said 65 scooters turned up for
the first attempt in 2007 - 20 short of the number needed.
Then in 2008 a total of 97 scooters crossed the line but they
missed out because they had not travelled far enough.
Council's community and recreation portfolio
chairman, Les Muckan, said the new world record for the Largest
parade of electric mobility scooters
would help promote
the Fraser Coast as an innovative and caring community with
a great sense of fun and he expected it to become an annual
event.
