Redhead Day in the Netherlands

The World

We are seeing red for the Geo Quiz today.

Ginger, carrot top, copper penny.

These are just a few nicknames given to redheads. We are looking for a place that was a sea of scarlet this past weekend.

The first weekend in September brings thousands of flame-headed folk to this city in the southern Netherlands for the annual “Redhead Day.”

This year, 4,000 people gathered in this fortified city that we want you to name.

The Dutch city of Breda is the answer to the Geo Quiz.

Anchor Lisa Mullins talks to Mike Klaassen, the press coordinator for the festival, to get more details.
