Jugglingad PHOTOS BY RIZIERO VERTOLLI / OAKVILLE BEAVER OUT FOR A RECORD: Students from schools all over Oakville (mainly Ecole Pine Grove, T. A. Blakelock and Eastview Public School) attempted to break the Guinness Book o f World Records for most objects aloft when they gathered at Oakville Place early yesterday morning. Above, Susan Hagley and her dog, Einstein, got into the spirit of the event. There's a chance a new world record was set by upwards of 2,000 people from Oakville and as far away as Georgia, North Carolina w ho participated. They made three attempts to break the record, which currently stands at 1,508 people w ho simultaneously juggled 4,524 objects at a European juggling convention in 1.998. The group at Oakville Place achieved a Canadian record for most objects aloft, but it's too early to tell whether a new world record has been set. Volunteers were still tallying results yesterday at press time. For more on Oakville's world record juggling attempt, which was organized in conjunction w ith Pine Grove Public School's 50th anniversary and raised funds for Halton's Transitions for Youth, see tomorrow's Oakville Beaver.
