FUN STUFF

RecordSetter LIVE! at Friday night’s concert presented by Pepsi
RecordSetter is a group of hilarious and innovative people whose motto is that “everyone on earth can be the world’s best at something”. Their purpose is to help both individuals and groups set world records. Featured on shows like Jimmy Fallon and Good Morning America, they’ve helped average joes and celebrities alike achieve the title of World Record holder for everything from the most armpit farts in 30 seconds to the most graphic designers dancing to Thriller.

The 3 records we’ll be attempting at Friday night’s concert are a surprise, but you won’t want to miss out on the fun! Even if you don’t list your part in these world records on your resume, you’ll certainly have a lifetime of bragging rights.

If you and your friends would like to be featured on stage for the event (and who wouldn’t??), Pepsi spotters will be at Mid-Vail and Eagle’s Nest from 10am-2pm on Friday looking for people drinking Pepsi – either from a 20oz bottle or a fountain drink. If you get spotted, they’ll enter you to win a spot on RecordSetter that night!
