In 2005, the first red hair festival was held in the small Dutch city of Aston, founded by Bart & middot; Lowen Horst is a painter. He wanted to create 15 paintings of red haired girls, so he published an advertisement in the newspaper to solicit 15 red haired girls to be models. Unexpectedly, after the advertisement was issued, the registration was extremely enthusiastic, and more than 150 models came to the door. Bart selected 14 models and selected the 15th model by lucky draw. In order not to disappoint the unsuccessful models, Bart organized a special team of photographers to take pictures of them. This happened to lead to the first red hair Festival. The red hair Festival unexpectedly achieved a good response and was widely reported by the media. The mayor of Aston later concluded that this was the first time that this remote town appeared on the front page of major Dutch media.
