(JULY 1, 2022) Many people like to say "Keep Portland Weird!" Last week, Portland had another weird event. Many people wore a dinosaur costume at the same time in the same place.
The event was "T-Rex Takeover." (The T-Rex is a dinosaur. "Takeover" means to take control.) It was at Pioneer Square in downtown Portland.
381 people met in Pioneer Square. All wore a T-Rex dinosaur costume. It set a new record. No other event had more "dinosaurs" than this event. The previous record was 252 people.
People called the weekend a "World Domination Summit." The "T-Rex Takeover" was one event. There were many other events, too. There were speeches and meetings and parties. Everyone wanted a better world. They wanted to learn about a better life.
It looks like they had a lot of fun, too.
