It's April 10th, I'm Corey with the story, and this is Calgary News today, local news powered by AI. University of Calgary is throwing a massive party for its 60th anniversary on April 11th, and the highlight is a wild shot at breaking the… Guinness World Record for the most folks dressed as dinosaurs. Organizes expect hundreds to show up on campus, with a Guinness adjudicator right there to count them all officially. Their mascot's always been a dinosaur first dexter, now his kid Rexosaurus, so this kid's perfect. They've got 700 people already signed up, blowing past the current record of 468. Meanwhile, Drumheller tried the same thing last year with over 3,000 dinos, but a technical glitch kept them from grabbing the title. Folks there were bummed, but it shows how much hype these dino gatherings pool in Alberta. The Bigotim kicks off at 11am in the TFDL Quad on main campus at 2500 University Drive Northwest. Reparking plus extras like a talk from Olympic champ, Catriona Lime Doan, cupcakes, music,

tours, and photo boots to keep the vibes rolling all. Hmm, day. Expect a roaring crowd either way. This could rewrite the record books and cap off a legendary birthday bash for you Calgary.
