GARRISON – Fort Stevenson State Park invites the public to the park for the park’s 50th anniversary on Saturday, May 18, to attempt a Guinness World Records title for the most people making s’mores simultaneously.

An official judge from Guinness World Records will be on site to verify the record and confirm that more than 891 people, which is the current record, simultaneously made s’mores.

“We want to do something really special and notable to celebrate our 50th anniversary and since making s’mores is a favorite camping activity, why not try to break the record?” said Fort Stevenson State Park Manager Chad Trautman. “We are aiming for 1,000 people to attend and help us break this record, so we hope North Dakotans will support this exciting endeavor.”

Participants are asked to arrive early to allow time to check in. Gates to the designated event area will open at 1:30 p.m. and close at 2:45 p.m., with the record attempt to commence at 3 p.m. The first 1,200 participants will receive a commemorative 50th Anniversary roasting stick. Leashed pets are allowed in the park but not in the event area.

Park entrance fees will be waived for the day, and participants are encouraged to carpool where possible.
