WE DID IT!
WE SET AN OFFICIAL NEW GUINNESS WORLD RECORD
The largest chalk pavement art measured 8,361.31 m2 (90,000 ft2) and was created by 5,678 children from schools in Alameda, California, USA, for the Kids' Chalk Art Project between 27 May and 7 June 2008.
If you are inspired by what we did, you'll like what we are doing too. One of our current projects is turning the world record chalk event into a book; to document a non-permanent art piece, to share with other communities ideas about keeping the creative spirit alive, and to have a product to sell to help create long term sustainable income for the foundation over the years.

I could not find any independent confirmation of this "record"-in the media,on Guinness website, etc ; can you show the Guinness certificate? Otherwise we may consider it a BOGUS claim!
