Posted: 11/14/2011
DUBUQUE, IA - The owner of an Iowa t-shirt store now has a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Tom Rauen put on 247 t-shirts to set the new mark.
"There's quite a bit of sizes involved. I think the largest we have tonight is a 20-XL which actually could probably be put on a King size mattress or a queen size mattress," said Craig Markham of the T-shirt squad.
Rauen beat the old record by two t-shirts.
The five-thousand-dollars that was raised at the event will be donated to charity.
