‘Let’s Move Bridgeport Day’ Features Group Frisbee Toss Record Breaker
WHAT: The public is invited to join in an attempt to set a new Guinness World Book record for the most number of people to simultaneously throw a Frisbee at least 10 feet.
The attempt will take place on Saturday, July 30 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Central High School’s Kennedy Stadium, 1 Lincoln Blvd. Rain date is July 31. The event is part of the City’s ‘Let’s Move Bridgeport’ campaign, an offshoot of First Lady Michelle Obama’s national ‘Let’s Move!’ Campaign which aims to solve the problem of obesity within a generation, so that children born today will grow up healthier and be able to pursue their dreams.
The current record stands at 853 people. The City’s Health Department is organizing this event, and is looking to have at least 1,000 people involved in breaking the current record.
Participants can register at the gate, or, to avoid waiting in line, register online at www.Letsmovebridgeportct.gov. The first 1,500 people to register will receive a gift bag.
The Frisbee toss is one of the many events taking place at Let’s Move Bridgeport Day. Other activities throughout the day include: A Let’s Move Bridgeport! Beyoncé inspired line dance, Double Dutch, Zumba and Martial Arts demonstrations, and other “Let’s Move” inspired activities. Participants will receive T-shirts. Refreshments and various promotional product giveaways are also on tap during this event.

Thanks for the stunt, Finch; I feel much more confident now.
Birdbrain’s mind is always on some kind of game, political or otherwise.
Who is paying for this publicity stunt? Free t-shirts and frisbees cost money–I thought we were broke.
Talk about political deflection … enuf is enuf!!!
As long as you have nepotism, cronyism, corruption and leaders who milk the system, you’ll have the likes of Testa, Finch, Fabrizi, Ramos, Roach, Stafstrom and Ganim.
TERM LIMITS!!! Elected positions weren’t meant to be lifetime careers.
ACCOUNTABILITY at ALL levels of government. Make them personally pay for their actions and behaviors.
NO ELECTED JOBS for convicted felons!!!
No. I think the man has the right idea this time. Let’s move Bridgeport, indeed. Move half of it to Fairfield, the other half to Wilton. Put Finch, Testa, Timpanelli and every philistine squid lover on a boat and ship them the hell out of here. Wait … we get to do that in November.
I thought Bridgeport was moving to South Beach. Oh, South Beach is moving to Steel Point. I’m so confused.
Foster and Gomes fundraising suggestion for the “Village Idiots” “if I only had a brain” Saturday event, “The Traveling Dumping Dunk Tank” with pictures of Finch, Testa, Timpanelli, Bellinger, Ramos, Rooney, Carroll, Dunn, Osborn, Bohannon, Wood, Fabrizi and any other thieves you can think of. $1 for two throws and $5 bucks for four throws. Feel free to add to the list, folks.
Can we throw grenades?
