CHICAGO (CBS) Gingers ruled this weekend in Highwood, as the north suburb hosted its 3rd annual Redhead Days. <\/p>\n
Both days you could see Gingers in hula hoops. There were contests galore, including a contest to determine the reddest dog and another for the best carrot cake. <\/p>\n
Music was provided in part by the Redhead Lounge. They decided who had the longest red beard, and hair; and there were symposiums both days with Buzzfeeds Erin LaRosa, who has authored The Big Redhead Book. <\/p>\n
Peter Jackson made the trip solo from Wllmington, Delaware, and said being a redhead is somewhat like belonging to an exclusive club. <\/p>\n
Were pretty much a rare breed, he said. Were sporadic in a crowd. Its not every day you see a big crowd of redhaeds together in one place. <\/p>\n
What do they talk about together? <\/p>\n
Our beautiful hair, of course. We talk about how its neat to be different, he said. <\/p>\n
Jackson claimed gingers are more sensitive to heat and cold changes; and he claimed it takes 20 percent more anesthetic to knock one out. <\/p>\n
