    Utah community builds record blanket fort.

    A Utah community came together to build the world's largest blanket.

    Local companies in Lehi are coming together to build a giant blanket fort and hopefully break an official world record in the process. The event was organized Thursday by Talking Tacos, Moxie Weighted Blankets and Real Salt Lake with the goal to build a 10,000-square-foot blanket fort in Rio Tinto Stadium, breaking the current world record of 6,736-square-feet.

    An official from the Guinness Book of World Records is attending the event to verify the size of the fort to see if it will be big enough after a Make-A-Wish child, 5-years-old, places the final blanket to finish the fort.
    According to development officer for Make a Wish Utah Summer Ehrmann, planning for the event only began six weeks prior.

    “Six weeks is a testament to what the Tacos Together team can pull together here a mere six weeks ago,” she said. “This was just an idea, and today we’ve got a 10,000-square-foot recording breaking blanket for it.
