Fort Madison looks to set Hula Hoop Record this Weekend

It’s Town & Country Days in Mediapolis this weekend and Danville has its Founders’ Day, but in Fort Madison tomorrow during the second annual Riverview Games, they’re going to try and set a new Guinness world record for the “Longest Human Chain to Pass a Hula Hoop.”

Organizer Laura Francisco is with the Chamber of Commerce…..

Francisco says setting the record will take a small amount of flexibility by participants. She they need to be able-bodied so that they can actually put the hoop over their head, put it down over their body, and be able to step though it.

Gates open tomorrow morning at 9:30 at Riverview Park, with the Hula Hoop chain at 10.
