part of a record-breaking event.

The construction of the longest paper chain ever made on the Island will be one of the highlights during this weekend's family day at the Royal Naval Dockyard.

And an anonymous supporter will sponsor the Society 50 cents a paper foot up to $1,000.

According to The Guinness Book of World Records, the longest paper chain ever made consisted of 450,000 links and measured some 215,000 feet.

Society president Peggy Kett said she hoped many children would come out to the Bermuda Maritime Museum Parade Ground this Saturday at 3.30 p.m. to lend a hand.

Between 3 p.m. and 8 p.m., the Bermuda Maritime Museum has organised a Family Day designed to help Dockyard businesses kick off the Christmas season.

Besides helping with the paper chain, children will also have the opportunity to participate in many other activities.

They will be able to assist the Children's Museum in creating Christmas tree ornaments.

They will have the chance to decorate a pottery Christmas gift or Thanksgiving pumpkin at the Arts Centre.

They can also enjoy hourly Christmas stories read by Evelyn McGregor and take part in a carol-singing candlelight procession, starting at 5 p.m.

Other events will include a re-enactment of the Attack on Washington, a Children's Bookstore stall, and a "Bermuda Forts'' book signing by author Edward Harris.

Craft demonstrations will take place in the Craft Market and children can have their photographs taken with Santa Claus.

Everyone is also invited to bring a non-perishable gift for the Sunshine League to go under the Christmas tree at the Queen's Exhibition Hall.

To round off the day, a special family meal will be offered at the Frog & Onion Restaurant where a magician will perform.
